A lady I know from Gurnee
Was stung on the arm by a wasp.
She said, “It’s alright,
It doesn’t hurt much,
I’m just glad it wasn’t a hornet”

Assoc for Scottish LiteratureWe have seen thee, queen of cheese,
Lying quietly at your ease…
James McIntyre (1828–1906) was born in Forres, & later emigrated to Canada. He wrote poetry, much of it about cheese. His “Ode on the Mammoth Cheese Weight Over 7,000 Pounds“ was about a huge cheese produced in Ingersoll in 1866 & sent to various international exhibitions.
Published in Poems of James McIntyre (Ingersoll, 1889)

“What is significant about ‘An Address’ is that the variant spellings and particularly punctuation reproduced in the Journal… present it as far closer to Poute and his imitators… Readers knew this genre of mock-bad verse very well by 1877 and would naturally have questioned whether McGonagall was another conscious contributor to it.”
Was McGonagall, Andy Kaufman-like, in on the joke?
