Not so fast. While he probably did want you to think of McGonagall (who's infamous for his bad poetry), Adams wrote, "The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England in the destruction of the planet Earth." This was changed from Paul Neil Milne Johnstone of Redbridge, who complained about the use of his name and address. Paul Johnstone was a classmate of Adams and apparently did write poetry.
