’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.

All The Day
All the day, I might say,
Goes the Mister,
His hipoto is grey;
the feet of it blister.
All the day, it jumbles around,
the hipoto mumbles a tune;
Makes a mighty fine sound,
And you might just hear it soon
All the day, the yoolick plays
Dancing about with the hipoto
Nobody can possibly say,
what they have as a motto
And all the day, the hunters hunt
For the hipoto, and yoolick
Never finding the runt
But always getting sick.
