Well, we could always do Amphigory. It certainly has interesting verbs
and children love things that are ghastly.
A is for Alice who sat on some tacks.
B is for Bertram eaten by rats.
C is for Cedric who went into fits.
D is for Donald shattered to bits.
E is for Ellen who swept out to sea.
F is for Franklin who died of ennui.
