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
Wer spielen kann, hat viel zu lachen ...
wer lachen kann, hat schon gewonnen ...

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 :)
