G'day Little Hawk,

Your description: an astonishingly bad poet who attained considerable fame in the 19th century precisely because he wrote such bad poetry sounds distinctly like William McGonagall, (died in Edinburgh 1902). Unfortunately, The Queen of Cheese is not in Poetic Gems, the collection on my bookshelves.

McGonagall was much admired by Spike Milligan, the quintessential Goon - and McGonagall was rated as the "World's Worst Poet" in The Book of Heroic Failures".

Best of luck with these words - I shall await them with bated breath.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
