However‚ this style of poetry does not hinder McGough’s attempt to deliver his message‚ but allows his approach to be more friendly and personal‚ and thus more successful and effective.

I suppose he is a lot like Bill Cosby is today: beloved for his down-to-earth style of humor. But that "aww‚ shucks" attitude hid a brilliant mind. Furthermore‚ Will
