Literary A-B-C's

If you have....

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!
