The Scottish poet William McGonagall (1825-1902) has become famous for his doggerel,[4] which many remember with affection despite its seeming technical flaws, as in his poem "The Tay Bridge Disaster": It irritates the Host of The Tabard so much that he interrupts him and makes him tell a different tale. Look up doggerel in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. The Poetry Foundation. Doggerel serves it so well because prosodic satire and parody rely on an established sense of metrical and rhyming decorum, which the contemporary print-based poetry notably lacks..
