’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.'
This is a piece taken from Lewis Carol's "Jabberwocky", one of my favorite poems of all time. Even though the poem is written in gibberish, with words from Carol's own imagination, it still manages to convey meaning and capture a strong tone. Poems don't have to make sense to be enjoyable.
Write your own poem in gibberish, but try to capture a certain tone, funny, solemn, urgent, mysterious.
If it has a rhythm or meter, all the better. But most importantly, have fun! 100 coins to the winner.

Garneth Mortimem or How Not To Live
To gabb at the mount of gabe even florists mut up a nave,
Loosely a lumx quoth on how to behave not a twul that night would save,
Old mean crimble and crump the mistle tumpf,
What woohly marccs whose las lemarks would waist mulux but gave.
These mus le bumps make laooman gumps may mist their glucks away,
Yet garneth mucs with shomen tumps lust lumx, maigul, they say.
