The chubby face
The bulky frame
The handsome head of hair
A comic to his fingertips
An actor debonair
McGlone of Tutti Frutti
Emma’s unlikely guy
The man had all the patter
Today we say goodbye
I liked him oh I liked him
Though I never knew the man
Except for what the telly shows
But that’s enough ye ken
A kindly face a twinkle
A feel for humankind
And talent it would seem to burn
A genuine Scottish find
Anthony Robert McMillan
Glenalmond public school
Mother was a teacher
Father a doctor cool
He found his way to drama
And gave us gifts to share
Larger than life in every way
Hagrid is now off air
