She was always able to put everyday experiences and feelings into poetry- what a talent!

Those of you who have heard the lady before will enjoy the repeat. Those who have never before, will be surprised and pleased, at such brilliant skill.

Have followed and loved Pam Ayres since I was a young teen. Brilliant talent, unique, there will never be another like her sadly. I’ve enjoyed reading her poems and stories to others and laughing our heads off because they’re so funny and so true.

Oct 20, 2019. I a 78 years old. This is the first time I ever heard of Pam Ayers. A perfect example that no matter how old you are, there is something to learn. She could be on anyone's show, stand up anywhere.

miller forester. AND, without the foul disgusting language they all use, to their shame it’s the women also. Pam Ayers is lovely. Might be inuendo, but it’s the lovely Morecambe and Wise sort.

A history lesson of the time ..... its a tribute to her poetic skills that they are remembered as Pam Ayres is herself ....

Apart from William Shakespeare, Pam Ayres was the furst poet I knew and she was the definately the first I enjoyed. What a great talent she has. In a quiet way I think she is a national treasure. :)

Great fun and Pam never disapoints. Love her cheeky grin when she comes to the punch line. This has cheered me up immensely on a sad day

Brilliant!!! There will be many a wife/partner out there shouting "that's just him!!!" A comedic pleasure to hear. Well done Pam!!!

I love her,she make smile and that hard in this day and time

We in New Zealand Loved our primary teacher reading her child appropriate poems to us in to 80s. Esp " i wish I looked after my teeth" ... First relevant and fun poems we'd ever heard. 😊

A Masterpiece. SHE should be the Poet Laureate

That is exactly what I think………if she were, we would all look forward to each important event in the country being celebrated by a brilliant poet. PA doesn’t only write great, amusing, poems. Years ago I heard her reading a poem about how she felt when her son left home….to go to University, I think it was. It was so moving, and so true.

I have a feeling there are Millions of women that this will resonate with. Bless'em all!

That poem just made me fall about laughing the best tonic anyone could have well done Pam 😂😂❤

I love her poems; have most of her books and been lucky enough to have seen her live more than once. Thank you Pam.

Pam is a joy and a treasure! Love her!

I remember Pam and it's lovely to hear her poems again.

Wonderful. Pam Ayres' words and rhymes are spot on. And I love the accent too.

Love this. Ayres is a legend.

I have happy memories of when Pam first appeared on telly. Memories of my dearest, gentle, much missed mother laughing.

Wind him up and let him go! Fabulous! Thank you Pam!

She's such a gem 😊

She is still a gem. Wonderful

Why is this wonderful lady not a Dame by now, typical that those who deserve it never do!

This is homespun wisdom. I am also from her neck of the woods. Love it.

A national treasure ❤

Absolutely love Pam Ayres. Her over pronounced diction is just perfect. I would've love to have seen a collaboration with the late great Victoria Wood. Now that would have been something really special ❤

loved her as as child. love her more as an adult .great voice and great timing.

Absolutely brilliant but of course nothing like my husband!

As a husband I ca only applaud PamAyes Perspicacity and wisdom

Pam Ayres, you are absolutely the Icing on the Cake. It's not easy making me laugh these days as I've got a bit old and grumpy, but I laughed and laughed at your poem and I bet my kids would say, "That sounds just like Dad," If they heard it.

tom jones. But they were! I’ve seen her live shows around the country and watched every one of her dozens of tv shows! Do you mean you never saw her? She was awarded the MBE in 2004 for ‘services to comedy’. Her shows were 2 hours long on radio. She was active and such a hit in the 1990s/2000s and was still doing these shows in 2017/18. Excellent good clean fun. A lovely lady, .

Sooo funny. Love Pam. Her poem's resonate with everyone. 💚

Good Old Pam. I first saw her on the TV while I was still in the army at Bulford in Wiltshire in 1975/76. I thought she was brilliant then and still do

Very clever and funny lady. Great talent. Pete Hutley, Newcastle,Australia

I used to love watching her on TV decades ago. She's still delightful.

Excellent! I've been called Pam Ayres the second by friends, but I am not as good as she is! Absolutely Fabulous!

“...Infallible, articulate, self-confident, and wrong.” She’s hilarious. How have I missed out on her until now?

A national treasure ... if in doubt and feeling sad, google Pam Ayres ... she's, well, sort off, mad.

It's not my fault that I know everything. Blame my wife, she insists I have an answer ready for everything, without my answer she is powerless, because she will have nothing to argue about....

Love this lady's poetry.... always makes me smile....

Wonderful

As always - simply brilliant.

This brings back so many childhood memories, laughing with my father. She is pure genius and her creations are hilarious. Good old fashioned humour wrapped in a poem. Love you Pam. A family favourite. 🇦🇺 I don’t like the Ashes line though 😂

Pam is so brilliant.. Really love her work.. It's such a wonderful thing to make people smile. :o)

I loved her on radio 2 on Sundays, I miss her loads, top woman, and her Husband sounds like me.

Brilliant! Absolutely loved it. It's so nice to laugh again.

I love the way the audience joins in with the last line 😂 classic Pam xx

So refreshing to hear humour and witty wordplay without a barrage of.. ah.. "modern language" besmirching the process. Pam Ayers is truly a national treasure. I have been for a dental appointment today & recommended to the health care professionals Pam's poem "I wish I'd looked after me teeth". It certainly rings true!

Pam you are fantastic!

2020...with the Corona Virus making us depressed.....its so lovely to be cheered up by Pam Ayres, thankyou ! x

What’s clever is that since this performance, she’s updated some verses with more recent events. I’ve heard another couple of new versions.

I have to come back to pure and simple pleasures like Pam Ayres- just to cope in todays agressive and wrongminded world.

Pam Ayres is brilliant

Over so many years Pam is a treasure and delight!

Absolutely brilliant and I have a friend like her 'busband'

"The Mafia Gaddafia and Yasir Arafat" Brilliant! She's a gem.

Excellent dissertation, delivered by a champion comedian

I've loved Pam Ayers since she recited " I should 'ave looked after my teeth" on " Opportunity Knocks" with Hughie Greene many years ago.

Sensational and I think she wrote this poem about my husband .

A national treasure

This woman she is something. Bloody awesome

Still hilarious after all these years.
