http://www.rampantscotland.com/famous/blfammcgonagall.htm

Extractions: Despite his reputation as the "world's worst poet" McGonagall's poems are nowadays read, quoted and enjoyed more than ever, although perhaps because they offer more amusement than insight. McGonagall's parents came from Ireland but they moved to Scotland where McGonagall was born in Edinburgh in 1830, or thereabouts (some sources give 1825). McGonagall's father was a hand-loom weaver and the family moved to Paisley, then Glasgow, before settling in Dundee. Due to lack of money, William's education lasted only eighteen months but that was enough to start him onto reading and then writing. Although he trained as a hand-loom weaver like his father he, had a brief career on the stage - as Macbeth. But, as McGonagall himself said, "The most startling incident in my life was the time I discovered myself to be a poet, which was in the year 1877." He became a well-known public figure and toured Scotland giving performances of his poetry and selling copies of his poems. The fact that his audience was more amused than impressed did not seem to perturb him. He had a brief and disappointing trip to New York in 1877 but a selection of his poems were published under the title "Poetic Gems" in 1890. His self-belief in his own brilliance as a poet was unshakeable and an unsuccessful attempt to drop in to see Queen Victoria at Balmoral left him "not in the least discouraged." He still wrote "An Ode to the Queen in her Jubilee Year." MacGonagall's poems on the "Famous Tay Whale" and the "Tay Bridge Disaster" are perhaps his most famous but he also produced a great many other poems about the people, places and events of his day. His wayward rhymes, mixed scansion and choice of subject matter perhaps justify his title of worst poet of the world. And yet he is held in great affection and a memorial plaque was erected to his memory in Greyfriar's Churchyard in Edinburgh in 1999. He would have enjoyed writing a poem about that...

Extractions: McGonagall's Military Verse William McGonagall If Rudyard Kipling was the most notable British poet of the end of the Nineteenth Century, then William McGonagall must rate somewhere close behind him. Regarded by some - especially himself - as being an unrecognised genius, as well as Scotland's foremost poet, McGonagall wrote verse to celebrate every major event of his day, including Britain's colonial adventures. He has been described as being: 'A real genius, for he is the only truly memorable bad poet in our language.' The following collection of his military verse had been selected to inspire and entertain all those who hanker after a different, Victorian view of the world. I urge you read them and enjoy them, because they are, without doubt, some of the worst poetry you will ever see on the printed page.
