Snakes & Ladders
My counter sits patiently
as always on that square
waiting!
For chance of your die
to land you on a merciful
ladder.
I have risked my way
now just before the finish
No. 99
Slid down those reptiles
Escaped their constrictions
fought.
It wasn't easy, what is?
I understand your reserve
Honestly.
My game was easier
I had a more forgiving
Board.
Whispered once before
I will always be there, still plays
True.
Only together will I brave
No. 100, so my counter stays
Roll.
