Reminds me of something Roald Dahl wrote:

It was an exercise he gave his mother. There are 15 sentences in the whole passage. You have to put punctuation marks to make the 15 sentences. The sentences are all nonsense but they make grammatical sense.

If you go to the zoo you will see elephants. Playing the saxophone, you first take a deep breath and swallow. The mouthpiece is then taken between the lips and firmly to boot. Polish people are proud. "To be or not to be" is what Hamlet said. When bathing the baby care must be taken. To clean one’s sparking plugs should be the regular practice of every driver who wants easy running. Does are female. Wives may never forgive husbands. Tell took a bow and shot the apple through. The inside left, raced down the field and shot a goal. Civilisation, being what it is, is still necessary for locking up the undesirable. Flies fly and pigs don’t. Brown is a dentist and can be seen any day. Drawing stumps is a sign that the match is over.

Something like that.
