Dr. Hounchell's The Universe and Everything 101: Burgah Tahown

So, you want to write a Mayo of Burgah Tahown type poem? Well, there's only three steps to this easy poetic gibberish.

1. Think of a list of either funny sounding foods or beverages or ones that seem like they could replace existing words. Like Cabbage and Carriage. Keep the food words in mind.

2. Add the food words to otherwise normal sounding things. Inserting them madlib style into your idea with no actual thought.

3. Make sure it has a natural flow.

Example:

I am zee Maho of Burgore Tahohn
I watched Cinderella go down
The dairy God mother turned a cabbage
Into an elegant Carriage
She turned ice
Into a horse that was nice
The story of the Prince and the Jalapeno pauper
Was about to spice up proper
Luckily, they found each other
In a field of cauliflowers.
This is a happy day in Tahohn
I will never frown
