This is great! I can't believe we're having a serious conversation about the lubrication of a shoehorn by a procured parson's nose! It was complete genius of me to use that sentence as the example!!
As for your reply, by the sentence
"The shoehorn the parson's nose the pirate procured lubricated glistened."
I mean that of all the parsons' noses, I am specifically talking about the one that was procured by the pirate. And of all the shoehorns, I specifically mean the one that was lubricated by the aforementioned parson's nose. Moreover, that shoehorn glistened. This is the only possible interpretation of the sentence that makes sense. It is grammatically correct. If you doubt me, Sir, then we shall duel! Or are you a coward?

I'm afraid you don't get it, hatters hare. Consider the following sentence:
"The parson's nose the pirate procured ate some honey."
Clearly, it is grammatically correct. Another way of putting it would be "The parson's nose, that was procured by the pirate, ate some honey".
Now consider
"The shoehorn the parson's nose the pirate procured lubricated glistened."
Another way of putting this would be "The shoehorn (that was lubricated by the parson's nose (which the pirate procured)) glistened."
So, a pirate procured a parson's nose, which in turn lubricated an shoehorn, which in turn glistened. Do you see?

Moreover, it is not only grammatically correct, it is factually correct.
And I was that shoehorn.

Then I would urge you to consider the following: What if there were a pirate who procured a parson's nose? That would be the parson's nose the pirate procured. And what if the pirate caused the parson's nose to lubricate a shoehorn? That shoehorn would be the shoehorn the parson's nose the pirate procured lubricated. And then if the shoehorn were to glisten after being belubricated with the Shoe-horne, one might say that the shoehorn the parson's nose the pirate procured lubricated glistened.
Checkmate, I believe.

So you do philosophy gAy-Level. What do you want? A medal? You shall have no such medal! Unless you can answer me this...
What is the meaning of the following sentence:
The shoehorn the parson's nose the pirate procured lubricated glistened. (3 marks)
(NB The sentence is grammatically correct)

This bears a striking resemblance to an event that occurred at Luncheon to-day. Dr. Marlowe, H. Fortesque and myself were enjoying a fine gammon steak on the lawn when I felt a troubling sensation in my breeches. To cut a long story short, Dr. Marlowe had to be put down, and I was found guilty of fraud in the First Degree.
