What was that thing???

Question

I was listening to a radio programme about a piece of poetry/literature which is about 45 mins long. It is well know because it is complete gibberish, but I can't remember the name, I think ti is european in origin, does anyone know what I am talking about???

This piece has no words as such, it is more like phonetics

No not Lewis Carrol, although I am a big fan, this this ismore obscure, and possible older...

Answer 1

twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
all mimsy were the borogroves and the mome raths outgrabe.
"beware the jabberwock, my son." the jaws that bite, the claws that catch. "beware the jubjub bird and shun the frumious bandersnatch."
he took his vorpal sword in hand, long time the manxome foe he sought,
so rested he by the tumtum tree, and stood awhile in thought.
and as in uffish thought he stood, the jabberwock,
with eyes of flame, came whiffling through the tulgy wood, and burbled as it came.
One,two!One,two! and through and through, the vorpal blade went snicker-snack. he left it dead, and with its head, he went galumphing back.
"and hast thou slan the jabberwock? come to my arms, my beamish boy! Oh frabjous day! calooh! callay!" he chortled in his joy.
Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogroves and the mome raths outgrabe.
