Summary

William Topaz McGonagall is widely renowned as one of the world's worst-ever published poets. Yet his discordant muse is hugely popular all over the world - no less a figure than Spike Milligan was obsessed with him. But how do we account for this morbid fascination with verse of little or no discernible merit whatsoever?He didn't discover he was a poet until the comparatively advanced age of 52, when he underwent something of an epiphany - but once the muse descended, there was no stopping him. You can hear the details in his unintentionally hilarious and self-celebratory autobiography.Public Domain (P)2013 Creative Content
