Is a blogging development that is most assuredly none for the worse.
Except, of course, that Andrew’s Ballad of Glasgow East is so very much better:
'Twas in the early hours of July 25 2008
That Scottish Labour met its grisly fate
For that was the night that the SNP were elected in Glasgow East
A momentous and politically damaging event to say the least
Perfectly crafted. I bet it’d even make Brown laugh out loud. Go read the whole thing.

That's very kind, Tom, but of course the great thing about McGonagall is that it's all but impossible to do badly: you simply have to avoid inadvertently getting lines to scan, or mistakenly choosing an evocative or apposite phrase, or coining harmonious or pleasing rhymes.
As such, it's a style uniquely suited to my poetic sensibilities
