"BHSU," she cried and cried
  when awful darkness and silence reign
  Over the great Gromboolian plain,
  Through the long, long wintry nights;
  When the angry breakers roar,
  As they beat on the rocky shore;
  When Storm-clouds brood on the towering heights
  Of the Hills on the Chankly Bore. 

          --Peter O'Parody de Dover Beach


Excerpt from "The Dong with the Luminous Nose", Edwards Lear's poem
about the Jumblies, including one Jumbly Girl.  Those familiar with
Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" will appreciate Lear's nonsense parody: 

                The sea is calm to-night.
                The tide is full, the moon lies fair
                Upon the straits; -on the French coast the light
                Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
                Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
                Come to the window, sweet is the night air!
                Only, from the long line of spray
                Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land,
                Listen! you hear the grating roar
                Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
                At their return, up the high strand,
                Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
                With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
                The eternal note of sadness in.

    once too often; it was fairly broken; and the young man had
    got to meet a hostile world without defense -- or arms.

So, dear Pynchonoid, although you can not see what anagrams have to do
with Pynchon and Nabokov, there is no need for you to start shooting in
the dark. Stencil might be down there at the bottom of the page next to
an asterisk or something.
