"Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
On a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
And hooptiously drangle me
with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon
See if I don't."

Tranne il secondo verso non riesco a capirci molto (sarￜ che non mi sono
impegnato). Chi se la sente di darmi una mano?

English as she is spoken (and sometimes written) in the US.

"English as She Is Spoke" is the common name of a 19th century book credited
to Josￜ da Fonseca and Pedro Carolino, which was intended as a
Portuguese-English conversational guide or phrase book, but is regarded as a
classic source of unintentional humour.

Ok, thank you all. I thought that they were actual words maimed in a
funny manner which still made sense somehow...

You may know that Vogon poetry is renowned as the third worst poetry in
the universe. You should be content that you haven't died from internal
hemorrhaging while reading it.
