Former District Man
Publishes New Book
Of Humorous Verse
A new book of humorous verse,
called “This Is My Worst’* has just
been published by Michael Foran,
formerly of Wingham, now living in
Toronto. Friends will recall his book
’‘Night Flight’’ which appeared ten
years ago.
The new book is a collection of the
best humorous verse written by Mr.
Foran since “Night Flight" was pub
lished. None of his serious poems are
in it, and for that reason he has given
it the somewhat misleading title “This
Is My Worst.’’
Wingham residents will be familiar
with some of the poems in this vol
ume, many of which have been read
over CKNX by Margaret Brophy, and
most of them have appeared in the
Toronto Daily Star, the Star Weekly
and other publications.
Natives of Wawanosh will be par
ticularly interested in a poem dealing
with the disappearance of the old
Fordyce post office on the tenth con
cession and with a ghost story con
cerning Donnybrook, which was locat
ed two corners south of Fordyce.
Mr. Foran has had more than 140
poems published in recent years, and
friends will welcome this selection of
those in humorous vein.

has left the Quebec City convent
