It's occured to me that if the word "dismay" did'nt exist, neither would McGonagall's poetry. It's always there, and always in a needless sentence. (Oddly enough, the poem about Tayport, which has a lot of "ay" rhymes, is the only one of his poems I've ever seen that doesn't use "dismay").

And, concerning the poem that started this thread, I wonder why he thought it was necessary to put into peom a story that Hans Andersen had already written? That's the most blatent piece of plagiarism I've ever seen.
