Roger, thank you for sharing that link to your Irish chicken - I think it is wonderful. And thank you, Tony, for posting Chesterton's Whitman parody, which is lovely. Maybe Ginsberg's Whitman homage would do as well?
Parodies. An Anthology, edited by Dwight MaacDonald, and Wyndham Lewis's The Stuffed Owl are I guess too well-known to quote from here, but I always enjoy Max Beerbohm, and "'Savonarola' Brown", in Seven Men and Two Others, is my favorite Shakespeare parody:

Tho' love be sweet, revenge is sweeter far.
To the Piazza! Ha, ha ha, ha, har!


Happy New Year,
John
