DR. SIGMUND T. SCHUKELGRUBER'S POETRY CORNER

(  Having been inspired by John Mayall's tribute ballad " Death of J.B. Lenoir " ,   I have  rehashed the lyrics somewhat so as to dedicate this adaptation to a long-departed bridge colleague of mine . )


The committee's gone and nailed a friend
Who has moved many miles away
The committee's gone and nailed a friend
Who has moved many miles away
When I heard the tragic news
Night came early in my day

E. P. Lenick has gone for good
And it's hit me like a hammer blow
E. P. Lenick has gone for good
And it's hit me like a hammer blow
I couldn't get to grips with what he'd done
And why he had to go

E.P. had a struggle playing
His uncompromising bridge in vain
E.P. had a struggle playing
His uncompromising bridge in vain
Everyone thought the committee did right
And that I was wrong to complain
