11 July 1998 - that big a star

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Seinfeld and Roseanne Barr,
And Taps for Fred Astaire.
I only hope that I’m that big a star
When I go off the air.

clue:

Seinfeld ran from 1990-1998. Roseanne ran from 1988-1997. Fred Astaire died in 1987.

You can find the original of this parody at the end of your volume of Tennyson. The Victorians were cute that way.

take oh take this clue away
