[lit-ideas] If I wrote poetry ...

.. this is what it would sound like:  
A chicken is a noble beast,
The cow is much forlorner; 
Standing in the pouring rain,
With a leg at every corner.
The collapse of the Tay Railway Bridge:


...Oh! ill-fated Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,
I must now conclude my lay
By telling the world fearlessly without least dismay,
That your central girders would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with buttresses,
At least many sensible men confesses,
For the stronger we our houses do build,
The less chance we have of being killed.
 By William McGonagall
