This Statue, I must confess, is magnificent to see, <br />And I hope will long be appreciated by the people of Dundee; <br />It has been beautifully made by Sir John Steell, <br />And I hope the pangs of hunger he will never feel. <br /> <br />This statue is most elegant in its design, <br />And I hope will defy all weathers for a very long time; <br />And I hope strangers from afar with admiration will stare <br />On this beautiful statue of thee, Immortal Bard of Ayr. <br /> <br />Fellow-citizens, this Statue seems most beautiful to the eye, <br />Which would cause Kings and Queens for such a one to sigh, <br />And make them feel envious while passing by <br />In fear of not getting such a beautiful Statue after they die.<br /><br />William Topaz McGonagall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-burns-statue/
