  • very well read, one thing about that McGonagall, he wrote about the news of the day and seems like he was quite well informed, for all that and all that.......know what I mean? Again, I'd like to compliment your reading of this, you gave it life and I enjoyed it for what it was, thanks!

  • Hi Peter, thanks for your kind feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D

  • One day in Dundee Toon

    A poet by the name of W mcGonalgal did chime

    That one day he would be the worst poet of all time

    But dinnae worry, cos although Im Deid and gone .

    Ah still get noticed on this new fangled

    Compooter ..

  • @Pitcairn2 LOL!

  • Pome by William McGoonagal: Ode to Sol Campbell-

    -Ooh to be a Goon!, 'twas the mighty Sol Campbell toon!

    To hang around any longer I'd be a Loon, I'll have to make my move per-etty soon, (after I've eaten this macaroon)

    It did not fill Spurs with glee, to see their finest off-P, on a free T',

    to their enemy,

    for not even half a new penny, in transfer fee, (tee-hee!)

    respect WMcG

  • As a Gooner, I'm feeling those mellow lines. 8)

  • worst poet on the last day of 1879 and wont be remembered for a very long time!

  • My Creative Writing teacher read this poem to us. It was hilarious, mostly because of the accent he read it with.

  • good poem

  • @BryanAJParry

    Blimey Bryan cannot even remember writing that.. must have been on the Merlot or similar... :)

  • Lines from another McGonagall epic, written on the occasion of Queen Vics Golden Jubilee

    "For she has been a good Queen and not a bad

    Which if she had it would have been sad'...

  • this is sacred dundonian words , you must delete this video ! EU law states this must be read ina deep dundonian accent , sorry but you pronounce "tay " to soft and southern !! and you cannot read poetry ! . think of the surroundings where william read these , in a pub noisy n full of mill workers , jeesh . lol

  • It shouldn´t be read with an English accent.
