Chronicles of Narnia limerick: Assy-thingummy

A limerick for Challenge 003 at [livejournal.com profile] great_tales 






Assy-thingummy

"Some kids who played games about Narnia
Got gradually balmier and balmier"
What Scrubb might have said
Will never be read
But I’m sure that it ended in “barmier.”


A/N:  For any who might not be aware, the first two lines are from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  Eustace Clarence Scrubb says them, and Lucy says "First of all, 'Narnia,' and 'balmier' don't rhyme.  Eustace says "it's an assonance" and Edmund says, "Don't ask him what an assy-thingummy is.  He's just longing to be asked."

If anyone else wants to take a crack at finishing Eustace's limerick, please do.  :-D
