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

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 ... CayCay
