ODE TO BRIDGE

I'm giving up bridge, tonight's my last night.

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

The Transfers and No Trumps keep giving me troubles,

I can't sleep at night for thinking of Doubles.

If it weren't for the coffee and really good food,

I'd have left long ago when the opponents were rude.

The gloaters and whiners will make you plain crazy,

And you often wonder if the slow ones are dazey.

My cards and my partner's seem to be rotten.

Playing a hand is what I've sadly forgotten.

Who has played what and what are the trumps,

Revokes and misbids make us all grumps.

So for now - it's all over- I'm off to the backwood

I can't stand the hassle, I can't stand the pain.

I'm making those bad plays again and again.

I'm giving up bridge - tonight's a bad night,

Defense is horrid and nothing's gone right.

Who can keep track of Ace from Ace - Kings,

Odd-Even discards and MUD, of all things?

Then my partner is slow and a real bidding dope,

His Weak-Two's are trouble and I'm losing all hope.

My Points are not high and I'm wondering why

He keeps on bidding right up to the sky.

But I'm giving up bridge - tonight's my last night.

Farewell to conventions - I give up the fight!

Stuff those Splinters and Cue-Bids right into the trash,

Along with Bergen and DONT, Michael's and CRASH.

So I leave with few words but some that are true,

Bridge may be a game not for me, but for you.

You be kind to your partners and don't mind their cheek,

For it's only a game - Oh - and SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!

"Experts say I am an expert, novices say I am an expert, intermediates say I am an expert, advanced players say I stink."

If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then who is the fool who
said, "Quit while you're ahead?"

                          

Hey....it is a seniors club eh!
