A Wonderful Beginning for Today: <br /> <br />Reading the Gem of the Day and finding comfort <br />in the rhythms of Mr McGonagall - his total dedication <br />his absolute faith in his special mission colours <br />every word he has written - though not lyrical poetry <br />more like rhythmic prose from Planet McGonagall <br /> <br />The complete lack of subtle sadism and cynical superiority <br />changes his words into chronicles so unique - <br />he chronicled the events of his age in a historical rhyme <br />and the world is listening in awe <br />totally unable to comprehend why they are so enthralled <br />by the unlyrical verse of lovable Mr McGonagall <br /> <br />Since its first publication McGonagall’s work <br />has never been out of print <br />and I have discovered the secret: It is because <br />he did not write poetry - he couldn’t - he wrote <br />words of simple, honest morality - <br />with the homespun goodness of an old-fashioned moralist <br /> <br /> - and I love it!<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lovable-william-topaz-mcgonagall/
