Further to the post here the Georgemeister informs me that...

An old man with memories... The date of the clerihew was in fact 1989. I wrote it while freelancing in Budapest for nine months. It, and several others like it, filled in the moments between the wilder excesses of the relatively quiet revolution. Now that we are down nostalgia alley, another of the period comes to me:

Samantha Fox
Was something of a paradox,
A typical late twentieth-century figure.
Her fame was big. Her tits were bigger.

Ms Fox's hit of the time was playing on video screens at metro stations. It may not be the best of jokes to say you could not miss her.

Anyway -- judge for yerself...
