MAHJONHG! Three Dot, Two Bam!

Three Dot, Two Bam!

Mahjong women all joyously gathered

In a smoke filled mid century kitchen

Back in 1950s Canarsie

All complaining and a bitchin’

We Brooklyn hungry children

Could hardly even wait

Until that never-ending Mahjong game

Did meet its ultimate final fate

For then we kids would pounce and attack

That scrumptious Blackout cake

And any and all sweet leftovers

Would’t you, for heaven’s sake!

If only once again to taste

That chocolate crumb filled treat

Our hearts would be so sated you see

But that is sadly an impossible feat

For those Queens of Brooklyn are all now gone

Mahjong tiles all packed neatly away

We hungry children all grown and wrinkled

Now must respectfully and lovingly say

Thank you for those innocent days

When moms did gleefully play

While sharing their pride, good food and joy

Bringing us warmth like the sun’s potent ray

We knew those Brooklyn Mahjong moms

Shared one common wish in life

They hoped that each and every child

Would be free from pain and strife

Please know dear Mahjong Brooklyn moms

You did the best you could

Life has no guarantees you see, nor do we think it should

You laid the framework and we grabbed the reign

We did the best in life we could do

Now rest in peace, three dot, two bam! MAHJONG!

We forever wish lovingly for you
