A bad night at the bridge club (conclusion ; see the start here.)
We're in seven spades and all hope fades
when, surprise, surprise, her high bidding pays.
We're winning each  trick, the defenders feel sick
and I have to admit that my partner's a brick.

 

But I'm giving up bridge--tonight's my last night.
Farewell to conventions--I give up the fight.
So I leave with few words but some that are true,
bridge is a game not for me but for you.
 
So be kind to your partners and don't mind their cheek,
for it's only a game, and oh!---SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
