’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.

The Kokkle Hat
I knew a man with a kokkle hat
And a podden on his cane.
Each night he let the misty grat,
And hurried to his haine.
No one who saw him knew
What he did at night.
We heard the sounds of geridoo;
A podden coffers' flight.
He taught me sensy dance
And a sweeter style of dress.
Often, he'd give me a juints jance
And never look at less.
