When I first took bridge lessons (about nine years ago) we were given

BASIC BRIDGE BIDDING

Thanks!

That's a great poem. I had never heard it before but a quick search
via Google led to a site that attributed it as:
BRIDGE IN A NUTSHELL
By Hildegard Rolland, Hi-Riser Columnist
I don't know if that's correct or not, though.
