Here is another sentence (not with prepositions) that is completely
grammatically correct:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

There is a wikipedia article with a sentence diagram here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo

The short version of parsing it is:

[Those] (Buffalo buffalo) [that] (Buffalo buffalo buffalo) buffalo
(Buffalo buffalo).

A preposition poem:

I lost a little preposition.
It fell somewhere beneath my chair.
I called aloud to it "perdition,"
Come on up out from down under there.

My daughter brought it to her 3rd grade class, and was asked, for
fun, to diagram the whole thing.
