Dear colleagues,
 It may amuse you to learn that there exists in Sweden a mock language called transpiranto. It started in 1929 in a satirical weekly called Grönköpings Veckoblad (Gronkoping stands for any ridiculous provincial town). It is still published.  Famous poems are 'translated' into transpiranto. The very famous - and serious - Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelof used to 'translate' his own poems into transpiranto and publish them in Grönköpings Veckoblad. 
Here's a list of titles with transpiranto-translation:
