AMEN or I`m Giving Up Bridge

I`m Giving Up Bridge

By: anonymous

 

I`m giving up Bridge, tonight`s my last night.

It's amen to Stayman, I give up the fight.

The insults and muddles are giving me troubles.

I can`t sleep at night for thinking of doubles.

 

My cards are all rotten, and I have forgotten,

Who`s played, and what's trumps, and what's gone on my right!

So for now it`s all over, I`m off to the backwoods.

I`m bidding good-bye to Gerber and Blackwood.

 

I can`t stand the hassle, I can`t stand the pain.

I`m getting those bad cards again and again.

So I`m giving up Bridge, tonight`s a bad night.

Declarer is horrid and nothing`s gone right.

 

My partner's a dope and I`m losing all hope.

And when s/he says "double," I know we`re in trouble.

My points are not high, and I`m wondering why

S/he kept right on bidding, clear up to the sky.

 

We`re in seven spades, and all my hope fades,

When to my surprise, the high bidding pays!

We`re winning all tricks; the defenders look sick,

And I have to admit, 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.

Oh yes, I`ll see you next week

This week we visited a swimming pool with clubmates.

 

My partner and his righty jumped off a springboard, who landed in the water first? Both their weights are same and they started same time.

 

The partner. He had to stop and decide for contract that we asked :)
