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.
