	Roger McGough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roger McGough CBE (born November 9, 1937) is a well-known British performance poet.
		McGough was also responsible for much of the humorous dialogue in The Beatles' animated movie Yellow Submarine, although he did not receive an on-screen credit for it.
		In McGough's scene his introduction takes so long that he is only asked one question ("Did you know the Rutles?," to which McGough cheerfully responds "Oh yes") before the documentary is forced to move along to other events.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Emma Brockes interview: Roger McGough
		Roger McGough likes to think he is the model for what his fellow poet, Wendy Cope, calls a Tump: a Typically Useless Male Poet.
		McGough's poetic style is often described as whimsical, its seriousness undermined by the sort of punchlines that, in bad stand-up, are usually accompanied by a crash on the cymbal: wa-wah.
		McGough, hippyish still with his gold earring and hair curling a little at the collar, thinks children have a poetic sensibility that is knocked out of them by well-meaning adults.

	Roger McGough - Poetry Archive
		McGough is an Honorary Fellow of Liverpool John Moores University and an Honorary Professor at Thames Valley University.
		'Funicular Railway' is a classic McGough poem, creating humour from an unusual experience and the peculiar ways people, including the poet, react to it; 'Nine to Five' takes an imagined office life that confuses itself as the poem continues.
		This reading is taken from McGough's live CD Lively, and his enjoyment, and that of his audience, makes clear why The Independent recently described him as "an extraordinary man. He may choose to depict himself as Mr Ordinary, but there is nothing at all ordinary about his energy or talent."
