Ha! Ha! Ha! Great poem! McGonagall's public would have loved it. They were working class people and they detested the aristocracy that McGonagall was always slobbering over in his sycophantic fashion. If McGonagall had read "Lament on the Death of Willie", he would have done it absolutely deadpan and taken it seriously, while the audience roared with laughter and pelted him with vegetables at the curtain call.

I wonder if Julia Moore was being serious?
