My parents didn’t watch sports
or play
sports
or have an
interest in sports.
They
preferred
to watch the
news,
sip instant
coffee
and smoke du
Maurier cigarettes.
Curiously,
they rented a colour TV
one Grey Cup
day.
And so, we
sat and so we watched
with popcorn
and chips
as if we had
always watched.
When the
Roughriders won
after
fifty-three years,
we weren't
that moved by the win
we were way more
impressed
by the colour
tv.
