Bellamy on botany; then pffft'

Ernest working, ethical man..David Bellamy!! not at all overstated
And grand, a speech impediment, did not hold him back
A lecturer at Durham, he taught many to track. The plants
And blossoms; that he knew by heart, a giant of ecology he was
Appreciative of its arts.' O B E awarded also the Dimbleby  
Prize; honest to full measure; not disposed to lies.' Born in
That town of London U K, all around the world he would make his way.' Don't ask me was a t v show.' Which He was part
Of..Look it up as it goes.' Ill gather  you'll remember this colourful
Man i'll bet my last drachma or dollar or pound.. Or rand, i'll be damned..' For this honest hero, champion of green.' You see
He shot a big hole in the climactic..? Climate.?? Er theme.'
He reckoned he got sidelined, due to views he'd aired;  in
Clearing the proverbial.' He was put-ched off the very same air.!
2019 was his year of demise, yet he's not been forgotten'
Despite some foul devise.' Deception and smokescreens
Its well.?? Not been very nice.' Yet now Bellamys back! Here if you need
Sound advice.) come on all you soupers., should you feel the
Need?  to sound Out' what this powerfull prescence
Expounds indeed.! Also upon reflection, I'm minded to say; lets mark the18th
Of January as ( David Bellamy day!!)

Honour where its due Michael to my shame I at The time had an idea.? that God was part enviroment. Yet the environment is only Here because God spoke how foolish to doubt this Eco expert 'whose views on God i know not.' Nor did then.)
