The intent of the song was not "making fun of Dylan", it was attempting to write obscure like Dylan was. Even if there were elements of parody, that was not the sole intent of the song at all. Some of the lyrics were written on various acid trips and whatever the writer's vision was, the effect is a menacing schizophrenic nightmare in sound.
Lennon was very proud of I Am The Walrus and considered it one of his most innovative efforts. Due to this he was extremely p
issed off and in disbelief when McCartney's Hello Goodbye was made an A-side single, with I Am The Walrus as the B-side.
