IS LIFE A BOARD GAME?

Pieces on a square board, who goes first,

Pick a card from the deck, is it a good one.?

Roll the dice, move four spaces ahead,

Will you land on something that puts you backwards again.?

Go straight to jail, lose a turn,

You owe some money, what have you learned.?

Own two houses, lose them both,

The pot of money is yours, you owe more than you own.

Lose a turn, start over again,

Take a chance, is it only a game.?

You might reach the finish line, what have you won,?

In the end, you’ll be older, let’s play it again.
