When I was 9 years old, my mum bought me a poetry book. Pam Ayres was the writer of these poems of life and strife. I swear Pam's poems helped me to see the 'other' side of people and life there and then. Now, I am a teacher helping pupils see the gifts that the 'economy of words' in poetry can offer. Pam Ayres, thank you for bringing my life to rights for me as a that latch key kid. You made the world humorous, fun and made me think more about the written word!

She never ceases to amaze me ... her wittiness is beyond measure. God Bless you Pam Ayres.

Saw her live in concert a few years ago. Did about 2 hrs...no scripts. Didn't falter once. Brilliant! A proper entertainer.

Love seeing an entertaining comic able to hold our attention without having to resort to shocking us with the explicit use of sexual innuendo or profanity! Brilliant! ❤

You could nominate her if you want…there’s a Gov form on Google.

This is how my dinner party ideas go, too. So glad it isn't just me.

Pam, a national treasure... Funny rhymes, not expected endings, a little cheek, and a lot of words said in 'JEST' But sooo relatable, Thanks Pam for some great memories.

So apt ,her observations are spot on ,Pam is so clever putting people and life into poetry ,it’s a joy to listen to her ,

Why did they never make Pam the Poet Laureate, you know, someone who speaks our language and who knows about real life? She has been wonderful live and terrific on the radio but sadly underused on tv. Bless her, she should be a Dame.

@elysianfibres1642 10 ай бұрын

because there's a difference between a poet and a rhymester like Pam Ayres.

@stephenguppy7882 10 ай бұрын

@@elysianfibres1642 Pam Ayres is more popular and better-known than most poets. Just because she appeals to ordinary people is no reason to try to devalue her work. Nobody likes a snob.

@@stephenguppy7882 Sorry I should have been clearer in my comment. In a 2018 interview with the Radio Times, Pam Ayres said, "I'm not a poet - I just write comedy that happens to rhyme". I wanted to point out that there is a distinction between a Poet Laureate and someone with a unique talent in comedic/musical performance like Pam Ayres.

It’s been years yet I still remember her stories of her youth. The allotments where the men laid wire traps for the poor moles and then left them to die in the sunlight. That story still haunts me. Pam is a wonderful storyteller.
