John Betjeman, Ted Hughes, Pam Ayres – the UK has an impressive track record of producing poets and now you can add to the list Paul Fairhurst, head of Savills’ Leeds office.

Fairhurst is joining hordes of men growing tashes this month as part of the annual Movember charity event to raise funds to fight prostate and testicular cancer.

To inspire others to participate, he has penned the following poem:

Balls, balls, balls.

It’s Movember, and I can’t grow a tash.

I had a shave this morning… it came out in a rash.

Oh well, I’ll give it a bash.

Am keen to raise cash.

It’s a cause close to my heart – so LADS give them a check, look after those works of art.

Do TWO things today: ask your Dad to check his prostate PSA!!

And lads, check to make sure your balls are OK!
