So, I've been plodding along, writing
haikus but not
posting them and I wrote one this morning after a week-end that included, among other things, folding seven loads of laundry while watching
IPL Cricket on PVR from
SportsNet One. It was a match over a week old between the
Chennai Super Kings and
Royal Challengers Bangalore, shortened by 10 overs in the first innings, but to no great detriment. That's why there's sports on the telly, anyway, isn't it: to give you something to watch while folding laundry, right? Okay. Getting together for a
Grey Cup,
Super Bowl or
Grand final party can be great fun, too, but whatever.
This AM it struck me how similar this was to my watching NHL hockey on 1 week tape delay (1960s, remote BC town) when everyone knew the outcomes already. I might have been the only one (besides the real die-hards, that did not include anyone of my acquaintance) watching it back then. So I wrote a haiku about it. And a co-worker liked it. So I'm posting it. So there:
Back to my childhood,
watching sports no one else does
on week's tape delay.
