These kind of texts are self-descriptive.

Here are a two self-descriptive sentences by Lee Sallows:

              This
            pangram
         contains two
       hundred nineteen
   letters: five a's, one b,
two c's,four d's,thirty-one e's
 eight f's, three g's, six h's,
  fourteen i's, one j, one k,
two l's,two m's,twenty-six n's
 seventeen o's, two p's, one q,
   ten r's, twenty-nine s's,
    twenty-four t's, six u's,
      five v's,  nine w's,
       four x's,five y's,
           and one
              z.

And in French:

            trois a,
        trois c, trois d,
    neuf e, quatre f, deux h,
neuf i, six n, quatre o, deux p,
    cinq q, six r, sept s,
        huit t, neuf u,
            cinq x

The usual way to solve such a problem is to go step by step: fill in the gaps with what you counted in the previous step, and eventually, if there is a solution, you will find it.
