Life is filled with ups and downs,
Laughing, crying, smiles, and frowns.
Climb a ladder; slide to the floor;
Buddy, can we play some more?
Curves and turns and a big surprise
Can help cement our family ties.
Will I pout or be a good sport?
Or will I simply come up short?
In Chutes and Ladders, as in life,
The goal is to have fun, not strife!
