I played my first bridge in Looe.
Of the game’s finer points I had no clue;
when my opponents doubled
all I could do was look troubled
and we ended with seven tricks too few!

I once spent a weekend in Rock
where we played bridge right round the clock.
As I bid almost asleep
trying my attention to keep
I degenerated into an insomniac crock.

I once had a partner from Bude;
Her manner was a trifle subdued .
When she doubled she was all of a tremble,
(her wits she was trying to assemble),
for she thought I would say something quite rude.
