On this day in ‘84
Torvill and Dean took to the floor,
Winning gold with their Bolero
At the winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
Twenty-four million watched them compete
A rating that Dancing on Ice can’t repeat.
Five years later in ‘89
The Iranian leader waxed divine,
For alleged blasphemy against Islam
He issued a fatwa on Rushdie, Salman.
Not quite the three words you want people to say
Did the Ayatollah not know it was Valentine’s Day?
