Chamomile for the eel

Helena, like many babies, loves to play at cooking, and she loves to make tea.  Recently, she has been selecting which type of tea she wants to serve us: mostly green tea, mate, and chamomile.  She is also very excited about sea life: sea horses and starfish and sharks and jellyfish.

One time, as she was expressing fear of moray eels (which look about as nasty as any critter can look), she was also serving tea.  For some reason, Rita pointed out that chamomile is very good for calming down before sleep.

"Chamomile for the eel, Chamomile for the eel," Helena insisted.

I can't think of anything philosophically profound to say about her rhyme, but it is so clever I wanted to write it down.
