BELIEVE YOU ME.... WITH REGARDS TO BRIDGE " THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' "........( An adapted Bob Dylan classic by Dr. Sigmund T. Schukelgruber ) 

Come gather 'round players
Wherever you cried
And admit that the game
Around you has died
And accept it that soon
You'll be playing alone
If your club
Is worth savin'
Then you better start
Recruitin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come complainers and
Critics
Who whinge hard and long
Who observe with their eyes
All that is wrong
So they have to act
Soon
To stop the decline
Or there's no way
Of telling
If bridge can survive
One year or nine
For the times they are a-changin'
So come on you chairmen
And officers alike
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the
Doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he who leaves it to others
Will be he who has
Stalled
There's a battle out there
And it's ragin'
When attendance is down
Revenues fall   
Which will bankrupt us all
For the times they are a-changin'
The game's in crisis
But who can solve
Problems
They don't understand
When numbers are down 
It's beyond their command
The old guard is weak
Rapidly agin'
So get in new members
By lending a hand
For the times they are a-changin'
The game's downward spiral
Is a curse
That's been cast
The slow death of bridge
Will later be fast
The game as we know it
Will later be past
Its once great appeal is
Rapidly fadin'
'Cus the newcomers now
Might well be the last
For the times they are a-changin'
