Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was black as soot,
And everywhere that lamb did go, its sooty foot it put.
I recently mentioned "Mots D'Heure; Gousse, Rames" et al in the Favourite Book thread. I don't know if they count as parodies or not. If not, what? For those that don't know this delightful (pers.op.) book it consists of poems ostensibly in French, framed in old woodcuts and with erudite footnotes. However, when you read them out loud they change into English Nursery Rhymes (Mother Goose Rhymes). For example one starts:
Un petit d'un petit
S'ettonne aux Halles
with a foot note for the first line of "The inevitable result of a child marriage."
[Just realised I didn't do a YART search - will now anyway]
