One No Trump

Having lost the war of life,
against an unknown enemy,
I fought like a disciplined soldier,
put my arms on the feet of an unseen enemy,
I surrendered unconditionally,
on the orders of my leader,
being captured as a prisoner of war,
I was asked to sit in a train
running on the parallel rails of time.
Doors are closed on me
and windows are barred.
I can just slide the glasses
to have a look outside.
Putting my cards on my thighs,
I look outside at the halts,
"Is it the last station? "
Why everybody is silent,
why don't anyone replies to me!
I come back to the game.
In fleeting of mind
about my war crimes,
and thinking about a possible trial,
I throw a wrong card,
and my partner howls,
"You son of a gun, you spoiled the game,
I shall throw you out of the train."
I just smiled and said, " But how?
Doors and windows are closed to you, too."
My partner becomes calm, "Let us start a new game."
I deal the cards and bid, "One no trump."
