This article considers both the pleasure and instructional value of writing parodies. Two parodies written by the author, both in verse, are presented and analyzed. Both poems are social commentary and therefore analysis and discussion involve not only consideration of poetic features but also concurrent political conditions, as viewed by the author. The first poem is a general parody criticizing education, in particular, university survey courses in literature. The second poem is a parody of "On the Religion of Nature" written by Philip Freneau in 1795. The parody is titled "On the Nature of History." Analysis is made of Freneau's poem, and comparison is made to the parody. In conclusion, it is shown that the writing of parodies is a good approach to a critical understanding of poetry.
