Not Much Better Than Narnia

The day Lucy found the wardrobe
Was the day her adventure began
Tumus the faun befriended her fast
The Pevensie’s escape from air raids
Lead them into the magical world of Narnia

C.S. Lewis published six adventure stories
From 1950 to 1956
If these names are familiar –
Trumpkin, Reepicheep and Puddle-gum the Marsh
You have probably met and loved Aslan the lion.

Why not take priggish cousin Eustace Scrubb next time?
Let's find the seven lords who were banished
Let's knock King Miraz off the throne
Let's put a stop to a hundred years without Christmas!
Who can do it? It takes children.

The Chronical of Narnia
A saga that travelled through six books
A world of magic, mythical beasts, talking animals.
Where children and a caring lion are the saviors
Who become queens and kings
Not much better than that!

Would you believe I've never read The Chronicles of Narnia, Caren? Somewhere along the way, it slipped by me. I believe Deb may have taught it in one of her classes.

Would you believe I have never read them either? This was for a contest. I needed one more gold to level up. I wrote down eight pages of research before I wrote this and then I got the silver, not the gold!
