Cute story -

SCOTLAND REMEMBERS AWFUL POET
It was probably a dark and stormy night when he passed on...

DUNDEE, Scotland (AP) - Scotland's worst poet was remembered Friday, 100 years after his death, with a new walkway dedicated to his memory beside the river he immortalized in his mangled meter.

The first verse of William Topaz McGonagall's poem, "The Railway Bridge over the Silvery Tay," has been engraved in stone along the new McGonagall walkway by the River Tay in his home city of Dundee:

"Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay!
With your numerous arches and pillars in so grand array
And your central girders, which seem to the eye
To be almost towering to the sky."

He was paid for his work just once, for a Sunlight Soap commercial that read,
"You can use it with great pleasure and ease
Without wasting any elbow grease
And when washing the most dirty clothes
The sweat will not be running from your nose."

Word.
