Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Chutes and Ladders

Life is a game of Chutes and Ladders
At every step you roll the dice
What you think really doesn't matter
Each day you'll either climb or slide

With every move you take your chances
You will either rise or plunge
Don't ask me, I have no answers
You'll never know until you're done

Where every step along the way
Is a case of do or die
It makes no difference in how you play
With every day a roll of dice

In this game of Chutes and Ladders 
That some out there fondly call life
Where your next move at any given moment
You will either climb or slide

CayCay Godwin January 12, 2018 at 8:25 AM I do just fine until society delivers 'chutes and ladders' via phone or mail or some other rude source. Darn cute play on the game and a true look at how MANY days play out. If one has not experienced this yet, they will or they can have my next chutes and ladders dice role. Enjoyed! Blessings ...
