Talk:William McGonagall

Historian and Poet
Should not William Topaz McGonagal be deemed an historian and poet since main reason his poems are still studied is that they captured local history such as the Tay Bridge Disaster and local ordinances?

If Stompin Tom Connors has been recognized by politicians as a historian for writing songs on the Reesor Crossing Tragedy, Fire in the Mine (ie the Timmins mining fire), How the Mountain Came Down and How Do You Like it Now (about Free Trade, which became NAFTA after Mexico joined) , shouldn't William Topaz McGonagal?

Even just for the fact that both wrote about falling bridges? (Vaudree (talk) 18:16, November 1, 2015 (UTC))
