Scottish poet William McGonagall, who died on this day in 1902, is being remembered for his roughly 200 poems, widely regarded as among the worst ever written in English literature. He remains a cult figure, best known for works like 'The Tay Bridge Disaster', and continues to draw attention from readers fascinated by his famously clumsy verse.
Why now: The anniversary of his death has prompted people to revisit his reputation as one of English literature's most notoriously bad poets.
