hehe quite easy.
the poem is called the sorcerer's apprentice. it was the premise for the disney movie fantasia which is actually the pic. the poem is actually brought to life literally as every line is animated in the movie with a symphony music background.
so based on that i would guess that d blanks are
wizard/sorcerer, apprentice,apprentice,enchants, magic and apprentice again. i guessed d blanks. din know if i had to or not.
