I once opined
that cricket was
the only thing
keeping baseball from
being the gayest sport in the world.
But now I’m sitting here
watching Canadian football
in a new empty bar in Vancouver.
I stand corrected
& I’m big enough
to admit I was wrong.
Canadian football is
even gayer than cricket.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Hopefully people will recognize that I'm making fun of youngsters who started using the word 'gay' to denote lameness rather than sexual orientation. Of course, the word originally meant happy and lighthearted. Slang changes with the times. I try to keep up but I'm not a young whippersnapper anymore.
