  1. 1 and above.

    Not great. You got more wrong than you did right. Clearly, Pamela Anderson is a pretty decent poet. That or it’s hard to recognise genius from just one line out of context. Either way, you’ve earned the right to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pamelaanderson/posts/10152533091147072">read the full poem</a>.

  2. 5 and above.

    Not bad. You figured most of them out but you were still fooled once or twice. Does that mean Pamela Anderson’s actually quite a good poet? No, obviously not. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pamelaanderson/posts/10152533091147072">See for yourself</a>.

  3. 9 and above.

    Impressive. You can tell the difference between a brilliant poet and a former Baywatch star. You now have permission to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pamelaanderson/posts/10152533091147072">read the full poem</a> and smirk a bit if you want to.
