Hi everyone! I wrote a bridge poem and would like to share it to you!
I hope you will enjoy reading!
The bridge poem
The two sides of bridge – teacher and student
Bridge at the very beginning
If I am the King, you are my Queen.
If I am a game, you play to win.
I am at the bridge table for very first time.
Haven’t heard of this card game? This is a crime!
You are the teacher, you explain me the rules of the game.
In the next few lines, I will try to describe the bridge frame..
If I have the skills, you bring me the luck needed.
Bridge is a great game – and we all believe it!
If I am the basics, you are the improvement.
We are playing in a Tourney with clock movement.
Scoring is MPs, each trick matters.
But there is one thing that bothers:
Am I good enough? It’s hard to say.
But I try to learn and grow day by day.
Back at the bridge table, we are competing.
Many good players visit this meeting.
I look at my bidding box, wondering what to bid.
You remind me, only with look, that I shouldn’t quit.
If I play certain convention, you are the logical explanation.
If I overcall at some point and play bad..
You just smile and move on, without getting mad.
If I misplay, you win the next contract.
If I forget I play in No Trump, you look at me, silent.
If I am too many down, you make overtricks.
Bridge is a card game, sometimes we do take risks.
If I ask for undo, opponents allow it for me.
You gave me advice: Think and always count to three.
If I attack, but you want another lead..
Some days I feel as in court, I ask for a plead.
Defense is getting better, we are improving.
All other tables are moving.
Together we are sitting at the bridge table.
It seems our partnership is becoming stable.
This is bridge at the very beginning –
We all make mistakes, before winning!
