"I'm trying to think of a limerick, "said Eustace.

"Something like this:

Some kids who played games about Narnia Got gradually balmier and balmier--"

"Well, Narnia and balmier don't rhyme, to begin with," said Lucy.

"It's an assonance, "said Eustace.

"Don't ask him what an assy-thingummy is, "said Edmund. "He's only longing to be asked."

--C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
