John Laurie did a whole album of Magonagall stuff and I have a feeling I still have it on vinyl.

"The stronger we our bridges do build, the less chance we have of being killed."

Spike Milligan also did some excellent parodies, one of which I've posted before.

"A hen it is a noble beast, a cow is much forlorner. It stands out in the farmyard, 'wi a leg at every corner."

There was another about a man being hit by the 7.15 train but I'm to refreshed to remember it.

Whatever the man's faults, we're still talking about him today, and I can't fault his unshakable belief in himself and his poetry.

If I find the album I'll let you know.
