Aslan in the Alley, or
Boggarts in the Bath,
Centaurs in the Courtyard,
Dustfinger on the Dash—
If Edmund eats his Eggs, and
Farid forages Fruits, while
Glass men gild the Gas lamps, at
Hogwarts, in the Hearth;
If Ix is Inconceivable, and
Jadis is a Jerk; if
Kingsfoil by the Kilo leaves
Lothlorien in the Lurch;
Or learn that...
Marvin has a Migraine, and
Nymphs are Nervous wrecks;
Ophelia is Overwrought, and
Puddleglum’s com-Plex;
If you play
Quidditch in the Quarry, with the
Redcaps splitting Rocks, you might see
Slartibartfast Slide on down, while
Treebeard stops to Talk;
If you've heard that....
Underhill thinks he's Unique,
Viola's twin is Very chic;
Wizards wave their Wands apace at
Xenophilius' disgrace. (X!)
If Yorrick's buried in your Yard,
And Zaphod's catching Zzzz's—
You know you might be saying
Your Literary A-B-C's!
