How about you try it!
Nonsense workshop with 3rd graders, Thursday. I write the first line of "The Walrus and the Carpenter" on the whiteboard: "The sun was shining on the sea." I ask them how we might begin transforming this into nonsense. Hand shoots up right off -- kid says: "The sea was shining on the sun." It's an hourlong workshop. The sea was shining on the sun. What else could I possibly have to tell them?
Probably the most famous nonsense poem is Louis Carol's "Jabberwocky" from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872. Read it at http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabber/jabberwocky.html)
