and the mouse police never sleeps
Forget Shakespeare! Forget The drugged up romanticists of the 18th Century. William McGonagall is the poet YOU must read. Check out some Mcgonagallisms:
As I was walkin' doon the road
I saw a coo, A bull by Goad!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Tay! The Tay!
The Silv'ry Tay
It goes up to Perth,
And back twice a day!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When the moon is upside doon,
The fishes swim from Ayr to Troon.
But when the moon is fresh and fair,
The fishes swim from Troon to Ayr.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A chicken is a noble beast,
The cow is much forlorner;
Standing in the pouring rain,
With a leg at every corner.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The man was a genius! Why doesn´t he a more worldwide recognition??? I hereby found the William McGonagall Apreciation Society of Porto Alegre, Brazil. 500 pounds sterling will make you a life member.
Come to the Bookfair on Saturday or Sunday and the WMcGASPOA will be holding a recital in the beer tent.
