If you'd like to hear it read aloud instead, go here; for a side-by side translation,go here.

For a whole webpage dedicated to stuff like this.

It makes me laugh just to try to translate the thing:
"O Grammar!" crater ladle gull historically, "Water bag icer gut! A nervous sausage bag ice!"

("Oh Grandma!" cried the little girl hysterically, "What big eyes you've got! I never saw such big eyes!")

You also may notice my spelling correction in the comments section. :-B
