Minnesota Bridge

There Once was a Partner....

At our most recent Minnesota State Sectional, we featured a bridge poetry contest.  Great entries were submitted by Evan Sachs, Steve Gaynor, Edna Lusk, Maurice Mertens, Verda Gould and Dave Neiman.  We thank everyone for their submissions, which were posted at the tournament.

Dave Neiman created the winning poem.  Please enjoy it below!

There once was a partner from hell,
Who bid like his hand was so swell.
He ignored my two passes,
Then took two losing finesses,
And blamed me when one short he fell.
