Poem composed
by Matthew Granovetter for the occasion
In all my days of bridge bumming I never did as much bridge humming as when I was sitting waiting for someone to do something at the Cincy bridge club, including myself! I was waiting for a card to be played Or maybe a bid to be made Or maybe the round to be called Or lunch time - my favorite of all I grew up in New Jersey and played at Essex Green But the Cincy Bridge Club is a far more glamorous scene The people behind the cards are the best I’ve ever seen and that includes the players who finesse my jacks and queens You are graceful and handsome and glitter like jewels and pearls but best of all you are the wisest and nicest people in the world. Even when I’m speechless from a bid that Gail has made Or trying to concentrate or explaining why I played - the 2 and not the 3 - because I preferred clubs to spades! I still look around the room and bless my lucky stars that I am here at the Cincy club with the Adrianne, AJ and Orrs. Well I‘ve journeyed to China and to Italy and to Greece But nowhere found finer than Lorna, Lalitha, Marvin and Annease. And of course dear Dot — a memory bot still a beautiful one, a beautiful one. |
