Pam ayres fifty shades of grey

How funny is this! It turns out that the ‘Ode to Fifty Shades of Grey’ attributed to great British poet Pam Ayres earlier this year, and doing the rounds again on Facebook and Twitter again now, isn’t her work at all!

Rather it’s apparently from the pen of one John Summers. But it’s so ‘Pam-esque’ that the doyenne of the ditty had to take to Twitter to declare ‘I DID NOT write this poem… It is nothing to do with me.’ 

 Here’s one that IS to do with her – inspired by her recent Jam Making sessions –

Great boiling pan of home-made jam

Shop stuff can’t hold a candle

It’s such a treat; it smells so sweet

And sticks you to the handle!

Hehe!

Well done @pamAyres – you are now duly followed.

ps for those who missed it, here’s the poem in full – inspired by the novel, in the style of the master of Odes!
