    A couple of unforgivable oversights in connection with 
    William McGonnagle.

    A more correct edition:
            The Tay! The Tay!
            The silvery Tay!             (the line that makes it magical)
            Comes up tae Dundee
            Twice a day.

    and, an alternative reading:
            This is Dundee toon wi'out a doubt
            For THERE is the Albert Instityowt!

    McGonnagle used to stroll round Dundee wearing 
    flambuoyantly poetic dress & rejoicing in the public
    acclaim which greeted his every appearance - in a way 
    very reminiscent of Jerry Salinger.  I wonder, though,
    will Salinger be remembered with such pleasure 
    a hundred years after his death?

    Scottie B.
