Parodies
Similar to Hic's thread about authors' tributes to other authors, I wonder what parodies of poems you have seen. Here is one I like:
This is a parody of Sam Walter Foss's, "The House by the Side of the Road"
I am a hermit soul that lives withdrawn
In the peace of my self-content,
Far from the fumes of the cars and trucks
That pollute the firmament.
There are souls that love to congest the paths
Where once the rabbits ran,
But let me live far away from the road,
As far from the road as I can.

Here is a parody on Sarah Josepha Hale's "Mary Had a Little Lamb":

Mary had a little watch.
She swallowed it one day.
The doctor gave her castor oil
To pass the time away.
