It's No Good Mr Titchmarsh
(May 2002)

Alan Titchmarsh, MBE is one of our TV gardening gurus
who has also written four novels so far.

I always watch your programs,
You know just what to do
But it's no good Mr Titchmarsh,
I just can't be like you.

I've tried to be a gardener,
And I am good with a hose,
But every blooming year I find
Things get right up my nose.

From March right through till August
I cough and drip and sneeze.
I'm told that I'm allergic
To pollen from some trees

But no one knows which ones -
It could be Birch or Plane -
I only know that when I can
I'm off to live in Spain

And there I'll write a novel,
But that's just ballyhoo
'Cos it's no good Mr Titchmarsh,
I just can't be like you.
