’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 Goldenest Rule

If wizzles were snizzles and sniffles were snu,

remembring disembling could crucify you.

Right off with your headers from youlder to yawl,

conundrumming slumbering dally-ma-dawl.

Your sigh at the sight of the sniggling snoud

(those pointers who jointedly sniggle out loud)

would freezingly fry every inchy blood blue,

confoundingly pounding most tempest review.

Tough hangingly banging, behindedly left,

for sinnerly winners, woe-gonely bereft,

no solacing somberment, salvingly spread

could smather the lather of dumb numbing dread.

But then! in the stinklingest inkling around,

your off-headed dreadies warp wildly, unwound

flat out at a speed, seeding dust in the wind,

while sigh-sounding cruciform grudgingly grinned.

Last word-stuttered utter on pawllish parade,

“Surcease such secreting of wizz-snizzled splay!”

The course moralled madly must babblingly be:

Do tutu allothers as theydo to me.
