New Narnia

I hear that they're opening

a new shopping centre

on the other side of Narnia.

It's going to have everything

and absolutely nothing

all under one roof:

Telmarines on the tills at Tesco,

stores run by centaurs, the Pevensies

taking their elevenses on the food court.

I've got a special voucher

for an introductory offer

at Aslan's Discount Carpets.

Of course, Prince Primark is its flagship,

on "The Voyage of the Born Spender".

I hear it's Reepicheep.
