Explanation

This is a rhyme to help you remember all 23 provinces of Argentina, in alphabetical order. It doesn't encode the province names themselves - since they're already alphabetical, you don't need help with the order. Instead, it works as a counting rhyme: the sentence has exactly 23 words, one per province, so if you can recite the whole thing you know you haven't forgotten one.
