Is there a Jabberwocky in Japanese? - IceCream - 2009-07-27

Has anyone made a poem like the Jabberwocky in Japanese?
http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabb … wocky.html
The poem is used sometimes to help teach English grammar to people, because basically, that's all it is. It's grammar stripped to it's barest form.
The poem's good because, despite the fact that the words are nonsense, we can still easily understand it by imagining what the words mean. The words make sense to us, in a way, because they are within the rules and structure of grammar.
So, anyone know of anything like this in Japanese?

You can imagine what the words mean if you want, but they all have definitions.
