Joe had to lose a trump to the Queen

a found poem
(Daily Bridge Column by Frank Stewart: 9/27/16) 

You hold:
Your partner opens one heart,
you respond one spade and he rebids two hearts.
What do you say?

The deal appears to be a misfit.
Your partner surely has a six-card heart.
He has shown minimum opening values
and may have no tolerance for spades at all.

Pass.
When you have no trump fit, stop bidding.
Both sides vulnerable.
