There is hope for our Poet McGonagall yet. A gentleman in Dundee the other day had the pleasure of introducing the Poet to Lord Vivian Grey. His Lordship was struck with the gifted son of genius, and he hoped one day to be able to introduce the Poet of the silvery Tay to Her Gracious Majesty the Queen. Everything comes to those who wait, and though Mac was “flunkeyed” away from Balmoral he may bend the knee before Royalty yet.
Dundee Courier, 4th August 1894
