Best Acting? No, I think he means it.

Best Script? Maybe.

This is gonna take some thought. I agree it deserves something.

William Topaz McGonagall (1825 or 1830 - 29 September 1902) was a Scottish weaver, actor, amateur poet, and performance artist, today famous for being arguably the worst poet in the English language.

I don't know.  How hard is it to be the "worst poet" in any language?  Show me some of his work and I bet you a dollar I can produce worse.

For I am Chumbawamba.

So ... do you suppose anybody at the SEC has read this comment and sent it up the chain?

Or ... has William T. McGonagall, III been arrested for insurrection?  Under the Patriot Act?  Never to been seen and, more importantly, never to be heard from again?

Prehaps Cuomo should investigate.

Chumbawumba,

McGonnagall, on the building of the first Tay bridge at Dundee, Scotland (from whence he came);

"Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay!
With your numerous arches and pillars in so grand array,
And your central girders, which seem to the eye
To be almost towering to the sky"

When the first bridge fell;
"Beautiful railway bridge of the silv'ry Tay
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last sabbath day of 1879
Which shall be remembered for a very long time."

And when the NEW bridge was built;
"BEAUTIFUL new railway bridge of the Silvery Tay,
With your strong brick piers and buttresses in so grand array,
And your thirteen central girders, which seem to my eye
Strong enough all windy storms to defy."

The original poems were (a lot!) longer, but you get the idea. Classic!

Another Scottish Gem:

I wake up every mornin'
I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin'
Another day ahead
It seems to last forever
And time goes slowly by
'Til babe and me's together
Then it starts to fly

'Cos the moment that he's with me
Time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me
Everything's alright
Night time is the right time
We make love
Then it's his and my time
We take off

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

Too funny.

Well, McG considered himself a gifted poet.  In his mind, he was.

Akin to Lloyd Blankfein's delusion that "we're doing God's work".

Will Rogers would have a field-day!

Yes, I quickly picture the gunbelt slid down - the pasty white orbs gleaming in unaccustomed sunlight for whatever metric may be performed. An accurate accounting of value seems likely by that measure.
