IMHO, Lewis Carroll was one of the the greatest parodists of all time, at least in the English language.

According to Carroll annotater Martin Gardner, the two Alice books contain ten poems that are definitely parodies and four more that bear the earmarks of parodies with the originals apparently lost.

Of course, most modern children - and adults, especially in the USA, have never heard the originals and are thus unaware that the poems are parodies.

Nearly all have been set to music at one time or another.
