I’m about to spread confusion :-D


I thought the op ditty Was by Pam Ayres, but then various posts seemed to imply it was written by the same person that wrote that other one which was posted days ago.

I think my head hurts :-D

Ok. I've removed reference to Pam Ayers. Let's just enjoy a witty ditty - who ever wrote it.

I’m confused, (not unusual).
I know Pam Ayers didn’t write that other poem but are you now saying she didn’t right this one either? :-S

That's weird. Further down on the link you posted, Island - there's the denial! :-S :-S :-S

Oooh, pencils at dawn folks. ;-) :-D

How did it get attributed to Pam A? Did she not make it clear it was not her creation?

Apparently, this excellent poem (though admittedly PamAyres - ish) was written by Jan Beaumont from New Zealand :-D
The paper attributed it to the wrong person :-(

At last, we have a cure for all!
Ailments large and ailments small,
Good health is not beyond my reach,
If I inject myself with bleach.

Radiant, I’ll prance along,
Every trace of limescale gone,
With disinfectant as my friend,
Like him,
I’m clean around the bend.
