Mahjongg Fever

Honestly, I am doing fine
I can stop at anytime
Just because I see Mahjongg tiles in my sleep
And I play so much I forget to eat
One little game becomes two
Then playing a hundred before I'm through
It wouldn't be so bad
But hardly winning makes me mad
So I play Mahjongg even more
Wanting to build up my score
Playing until I doze off to sleep
That haunting Chinses melody makes me weep
Mahjongg fever has no cure
Ancient Chinses game of skill for sure

I've never played the real game only the computer one and I agree it is quite addictive:-) hugs Jan xx
