THE BATTLE CONTINUES
(Or Whats Hundred Rubbers or So BetaOeen

Four cagey card players out for blood and fame To decide who is best at that old contract game. The Simses and Culbertsons smile ever sweetly When one or the other manages somewhat neatly Mayhap game through direct disturbing double Which ends you might know in slight bit of trouble, Giving to the Culbertsons perhaps another rubber In session quite salty, eh what oh landubber! The Culbertsons forge ahead with bang and Wham Simses come up for air in spirited grand slam, Showing that at best they are not die-hards And how it'll all end just rests in the cards. "Your lead was out of turn" says MT S. with glee,- "Im aware of that fact" then replies Mr. c. Small talk and argument feature the sessions As the play continues with diabolic digressions. One hundred fifty rubbers! now heaven defend! This noted card battle-how will it all end?
 L'ENVOI The outlook hasn't looked brilliant for the Simses the last few days, And cards as well as players react in various ways But the thing to do in duels is to reposte with pose and grace,
 And though rubbers mount against you always keep poker face.
