I can't hear "absquatulate" without thinking of the marvelous Alpha Beta Chowder, Jeanne Steig & William Steig, an illustrated collection of whimsical poetry.

A sample:

An Appetizer for Alexander

Abhorent axolotl, scat!
Unless you'd like to feed my cat.

Come at once, dear Alexander,
Have a bit of salamander.
See its tasty little gills?
Don't they look like lamb-chop frills?

Amphibian, avoid thy fate.
Slither off! Absquatulate!
