Thread Name: BS: More Bad Poetry
Subject: RE: BS: More Bad Poetry
For a truly 'wonderful' compendium of bad poetry, take a look at
"The Stuffed Owl" edited by D.B. Wyndham Lewis and Charles Lee. It includes much by McGonagall and Julia A. Moore, 'The sweet singer of Michigan.'[Here's a sample of her work]

'Tis said that Brigham Young is dead,
The man with nineteen wives;
The greatest Mormon of the West
Is dead, no more to rise.
He left behind his nineteen wives
Forsaken and forlorn;
The papers state his death was caused
By eating too much green corn.
