I simply adore Pam Ayres. She's so unassumingly funny! I always feel, when I see her perform, that it's as if she's accidentally wandered onto a stage and found an audience she has to talk to, and does so brilliantly!
Now this is incredibly strange ... as I watched this just now and the second poem was drawing to an end, and I was starting to drift off and lose focus on her lecture, she barked without warning 'Don't pick your spot!' at the exact moment I was really doing it - in reality - entirely by coincidence!! It wasn't even a joke!!! It woke me with such a start that my hand shot away from my face to obey and I stared at her photo in fright for a moment before laughing my head off!!
Great wordplay I had a book of her stuff when I was a kid, its good to finally hear her speak them. If you like wordplay have a wee look at Kerou's cartoons just google it, well worth a look
Lovely poems and great British humour. Got a poem forwarded which says "Oh, I wish I'd looked after my tits" rather than teeth. Wonder if Pam expanded from the teeth to the tits or whether it's a different take of Pam's poem by someone else?
God, I`d forgotten all about Pam Ayers, this takes me back so far that I`m ashamed to say how far.....she sounds like an echo of another time...one that i used to live in :0 )

Utterly brilliant. She is such amazing talent. Seriously, I listen to lyrical rap and I see its beginings. Anyone with an ear for it will see it.

Were these poems written with children in mind? Or is she just a simpleton?

Pam Ayres is not just a marvellous poet, but also a fabulous story teller. Love the sentiments!

Dolly on the Dustcart heard soooo many times as a child may very well to blame for the annoying rhyming poems I unleash on the public now days..

Yer, have seen that poem as well. It has all the hallmarks of an Eyres poem, but can't answer your question. Would be interested to know too.
