"Magnifience" by John Skelton is a satirical poem that skewers the hypocrisy and moral decay of the English court during the reign of King Henry VIII. Through the antics of the parrot, who serves as a witty and outspoken commentator on the affairs of state, Skelton offers a biting critique of the corruption and excesses of the royal court. With its clever wordplay and irreverent humor, "Speke Parrot" provides a window into the political and social climate of the time, while also showcasing Skelton's mastery of poetic form and language. As a scathing indictment of the abuse of power and privilege, "Speke Parrot" remains a timeless work of satire that continues to resonate with readers today.
