WATSON’S POEM FOR NENSHI

-

Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder why the Stampeders were subpar Up above the world so high Are the Redblacks, I can’t lie When my hopes of winning were gone, And all I could shout was come on! Mayor Watson showed me the light And said “don’t worry, you’ll be all right” Once again, Ottawa proved to be the bigger shark And blew us right out of the park I should have been chanting Go Redblacks Go! And high-fived their mascot Big Joe The truth is I envy Ottawa The whole city leaves me in awe They do everything better than Calgary And their people are lovely and merry Twinkle, twinkle, little star, I’ve learned my lesson from Mayor Jim I know better now, next time I’ll listen to him
