Sure, that was perhaps not the best example of the concept. Another example is a silly children's rhyming song that I still remember being taught in an elementary school music class:
"Mumbo jumbo, Christopher Columbo /
Sitting on the sidewalk, chewing bubble gumbo"
"Mumbo jumbo" is of course a well known rhyming phrase that itself means "unintelligible nonsense". The song then extends the "-umbo" rhyme to the two words at the ends of the lines, starting from the "-um-" in "Columbus" and "bubble gum".
If one were attempting to decipher a message and this were the original content, one would have to distinguish between the silly nonsensical rhyming parts and the parts of the message with actual meaning.
