Alan Titchmarsh.

b.1949.

Ilkley moor bah tat

where the heck is that?

West Yorkshire I've been told

without a hat its cold.

Near here our hero was born

he'd often lay on the lawn.

Watching the birds eat and play

this sort of thing made his day.

A lover of natures natural things

autumn, winter, lovely springs.

Gardening, making things grow

fork, spade, trowel, barrow.

A good days graft he seemed to like

how nature worked, mentally bright.

At Kew Gardens a claim to fame

as staff trainer he made his name.

Gardening journalism next

then several other projects.

Novelist and Broadcaster

A sort after connoisseur.

In speech honest, opine

moaners told to toe the line.

His Mum and Dads mental grit

Please be quiet and get on with it.
