I just learned [Crokinole](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crokinole) about a week ago. Perhaps you can tell how I’m doing by this little ditty (sung to the tune of _O Canada_).

_O Crokinole!Game that’s impossible,  
Truly impossible to win.  
Your discs and pegs make me fear thee!  
Needed skill eludes me,  
Ev-e-ry time!  
O Crokinole, all opponents are too good!  
Why are you so damn addictive to me?  
O Crokinole, what bastard created you?  
Crokinole, what maddening, maddening fun!_
