Snake and Ladders of Life

Amidst the CNY lantern deco,

The Mall sets up a festive show,

The zodiac snake takes center stage,

With a timeless board game for every age.

Calling all the bold,

With dice in hands, one’s fate to hold,

When each number rolled, a story unfolds...

Leaders use ladders to reach the sky,

While snakes pull down and make dreams dry,

Aghh... Should we give up?

No, just roll the dice to catch up and rise anew,

Till the final square comes into view.

Snake and Ladder is a game of chance,

Yet life demands a solid performance,

Climb the ladder with grit until the top,

Avoid snaky red flags with twisted stops.

Roll the dice, take heart and aim,

Master the board and win our life’s game!
