I have family members who play cards and gamble, and I hate it. I did not know there was poetry about card playing.

Bridge Poem
I would love to read your bridge poem. I, too, just wrote a silly little one. Should have called it "The Last Bridge Game." I met my special friend Don at our duplicate bridge club in town. We used to have so much fun playing as partners but decided, after our games became testy, that we would be better off abandoning our bridge partnership and stick to other things we both enjoy. So please send me your poem and, if you like, I'll send you mine.

Thanks. Sandy

Fair enough! It'll take a couple of days, though, because I don't know where I put the notibook that has it.

Mine is so Silly
The Bridge Ballad of Sandy and Don
To Don with Love & Laughter


It was love at first sight
When she saw him that night
At the bridge club on the south side of town.


They played and they played
And laugh filled their days
‘Til a double she passed raised his anger.


No more do they play
Now they just say,
“Man, it was fun while it lasted!”



So there you have it. Don't make me look too bad. :wink:

Here you go!

Bridge poem
Here you go:

Each wrinkled brow. Each furrowed ridge
Divine devotion shows to BRIDGE.
Bright conversationÂ’s self now lards
With calls to cut the deck of cards.

The deal, the bid, the play, and then
POST MORTEM plays the hand again.
Refreshments call, the contest ends,
Opponents now revert to FRIENDS.

May I Please
Have your permission to print your bridge poem in our local duplicate bridge club newsletter? I'ts so fine!

Hi, TomKitten
Thanks so much.

Thank goodness for Google! Two years ago I posted a short poem on Bridge, and am now in need of a copy. Unfortunately, I've lost whatever file it was in. On the other hand, FORTUNATELY, I remembered that Google sometimes picks up A2K posts, and lo and behold, there was the link. So now I've recopied it, saved it, and can pass it along to its latest promised destination.

So, Sandy, it's great that you had asked for it back in December of 2005! It was a kind of roundabout search, but there it was.
