Mirza Abdullah Gorji Esfahani was one of the famous poets of the thirteenth century who, according to one of the branches related to humor, namely parody, wrote important poems and with its help, he showed his art of humor and showed the shortcomings and shortcomings of his time. . The authors of this article first intended to provide a single definition of parody and then tried to examine the poet's parodies. The purpose of this article is to examine parodies in detail through content analysis and to obtain valuable information that has received less attention. Through these parodies, one can get acquainted with the psychological, social, economic, religious, etc. views of the poet. Some of these perspectives are entertaining and humorous, especially in the superficial layers of the poems; But by delving deeper into the hidden layers of these parodies, bitter humor and critical aspects emerge that are very important in understanding the life and time of the poet. Another important point is the useful information that the poet provides about the popular beliefs related to foods.
