520			_a"The Poetical Works of John Skelton, Volume 2 (of 2)" by John Skelton is a collection of poetry written in the early 16th century. This volume continues to present the works of John Skelton, a notable poet of the English Renaissance, showcasing his unique style and themes that often blend wit, social commentary, and a keen observation of contemporary society. The poems explore various subjects, including politics, courtiers, and personal sentiments, conveyed through playful language and humor. The opening portion of the collection introduces the poem "Speke, Parrot," where the poet adopts the persona of a parrot, engaging in witty banter filled with playful wordplay and clever rhymes. Through this avian character, Skelton addresses themes of knowledge, eloquence, and the nature of communication, often reflecting on language and its mastery. The parrot's lively descriptions and interactions serve as a metaphor for the social dynamics of the court and a humorous critique of contemporary issues, while displaying Skelton's distinctive blend of satire, charm, and linguistic creativity.
