A beam flew out,
Laser it was,
Thief ducked down,
I heard a loud buzz…
It hit our TV,
And blew up the screen,

Dad would be mad,
It was like a bad dream,
Then it broke all our plates,
And melted our cups,
The machine was real crazy,
Like hyper dog pups…
It knocked down our pictures,
All 7 x 5,
When my parents came home,
Would they let me survive?

How many pictures did the machine knock down in total?
