Mah Jongg In the Afternoon

Mah Jongg in the afternoon Always ends a bit too soon. We laugh, we chat, then play begins And 'fore you know it, someone wins. There's so much left we must discuss, So four more walls are built by us And tile by tile, they disappear Until that "Mah Jongg!" shout we hear. And then the game's set up once more But we know what we're playing for - A chance to catch up, share and schmooze; It doesn't matter if we lose. The hours fly by - must be a trick The way the ending comes so quick. At least we plan another date - I wish we didn't have to wait.
