Read by HAROLD WIGHTMAN
Meet the ' great ' McGonagall, world's worst poet. And yet in Scotland his works have a tremendous vogue. This is because of McGonagall's conscious or unconscious capacity for perfectly ridiculous humour. He was ignorant of the laws of prosody and glorified in the fact, admitting none to be his equal except, perhaps, William Shakespeare. Any listener who has not met immortal William II should put everything off tonight to hear Harold Wightman 's readings.
