William Topaz McGonagall - A New Year`s Resolution to Leave DundeeWilliam Topaz McGonagall - A New Year`s Resolution to Leave Dundee
Work rating: Medium


Welcome! thrice welcome! to the year 1893, For it is the year I intend to leave Dundee, Owing to the treatment I receive, Which does my heart sadly grieve. Every morning when I go out The ignorant rabble they do shout `There goes Mad McGonagall` In derisive shouts as loud as they can bawl, And lifts stones and snowballs, throws them at me; And such actions are shameful to be heard in the city of Dundee. And I`m ashamed, kind Christians, to confess That from the Magistrates I can get no redress. Therefore I have made up my mind in the year of 1893 To leave the ancient City of Dundee, Because the citizens and me cannot agree. The reason why? because they disrespect me, Which makes me feel rather discontent. Therefore to leave them I am bent; And I will make my arrangements without delay, And leave Dundee some early day.
