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.
