William McGonagall William McGonagall is under the direst threat today in his apparently unassailable position as author of the world's worst poem. The 19th century Scots bard's notorious lament for The Tay Bridge Disaster: And the cry rang out all o'er the town, Good Heavens! the Tay Bridge is blown down has been challenged in favour of a single appalling last line by a more exotic British versifier, Theophile Jules-Henri Marzials: "Drop / Dead. / Plop, flop. / Plop". The poem is titled A Tragedy. The opening lines: "Death!/ Plop. / The barges down in the river flop. / Flop, / plop," suggest that the author is brooding about suicide.

William McGonagall From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search William Topaz McGonagall Born 1825 or 1830 Died 29 September 1902 Occupation Weaver actor poet , and performance artist Poetry William Topaz McGonagall (March 1825 – 29 September 1902) was a Scottish weaver and amateur poet and actor . He won notoriety as an extremely bad poet who exhibited no recognition of or concern for his peers' opinions of his work. He wrote some 200 poems, including the infamous " Tay Bridge Disaster ", which are widely regarded as some of the worst in British history. Groups throughout Scotland engaged him to make recitations from his works; contemporary descriptions of these performances indicate that many of these listeners were appreciating McGonagall's skill as a comic music hall character, and as such his readings may be considered a form of performance art . Collections of his verse continue in popularity, with several volumes available today. McGonagall has been acclaimed as the worst poet in British history. The chief criticisms of his poetry are that he is deaf to poetic metaphor and unable to scan correctly. In the hands of lesser artists, this might generate merely dull, uninspiring verse. However, McGonagall's fame stems from the humorous effects these shortcomings generate. The inappropriate rhythms, weak vocabulary, and ill-advised

20. The Great McGonagall (William Topaz McGonagall): Scotland's Worst Poet. Brigadoo Biographical article from Canadian website Brigadoonery . http://www.durham.net/~neilmac/great.htm

Brigadoonery Canada T he (not so) G reat McG onagall SCOTLAND ’S WORST POET E verybody knows the illustrious name of Scotland’s greatest poet, Robbie Burns. But how many have heard of William Topaz McGonagall the worst poet that Bonnie Scotland ever threw up, and arguably the worst poet ever to massacre the English language? The Victorian era produced more than its fair share of bad poetry. Silly, turgid, melodramatic tripe seemed to be a fashionable mode of expression in those days. Poetic schmaltz was churned out by untalented would-be bards at the slightest provocation. Celebrations, historical events, personal triumphs and tragedies, wars, disasters all provided grist for the poetic mill. Such works were frequently executed (the correct word, come to think of it!) with more enthusiasm than skill. Reams of Victorian doggerel were distinguished by ridiculous, overblown metaphors and foolishly grandiose presentations of commonplace subjects. Awkward, un-natural rhymes forced readers to put the em pha sis on the wrong syl la ble. Run-on sentences; painfully contorted sentence structure; and a plethora of ‘twases, ‘tweres, and other abridged or misspelled words abounded. Abject ignorance of elementary rhyme and meter was a cardinal feature of a lot of this stuff.
