   The worst poet is not Satchel. That honour goes to Edinburgh’s greatest son, William Topaz McGonagall (1825 – 1902). Completely unable to scan or use any form of metaphor, he believed that all a poem needed was to rhyme (nearly). I find it difficult to read more than two or three of his poems in succession before my brain starts to melt, but I still count his collected works as a genuine pleasure. A quick search on the internet will be greatly rewarded.
