                                                        IISZ 2018 Challenge #7

                There are poems with letter-groupings that are probably nonsense but are used
                in a way that makes you unsure... maybe they're just words you don't know...
                there are certainly enough of those.  
               
                Lewis Carroll’s famous Jabberwocky certainly seems to have lots, but a few
                were actual words and others have become ones since:
               
                'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
                Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
                All mimsy were the borogoves,
                And the mome raths outgrabe.
                ... etc.
               
                So the challenge is to write a poem or prose that uses 2 (and hopefully more)
                letter-groupings that are probably nonsense but either seem to make sense
                or are, what the hell, just ridiculously bizarre.
               
                Extra points for slipping in a real word that's obscure enough to fool us in reverse.
               
                (Tip on making it easier to come up with the non-word, letter-groupings:
                  Take a real word that fits your poem, look it up here in Thesaurus.com,  
                  and combine the front and back of two of its likely-looking synonyms.)

                And, as always:
                    - You can write and post as many entries as you want.
                    - Comments are loved, encouraged, and have magical healing powers.
