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.
