The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Life is a game of snakes & ladders
As you try to climb up one ladder
Invaribly someone spits more venom
& someone else throws a dagger
So you slip down to change your denim

Life is a box of chocolates
You think you've got the caramel
But you end up with the orange cream
So you end up having a paracetamol
Hiding because you don't wish to be seen

Life is like connect four
Red makes you stop
Whilst you teeter on traffic light amber
Then it all goes pop
As you end up in a clamber

Life is like a board of scrabble
With people keeping score
Whilst heads untangle
Others become a bore
As you're the only one taking a gamble

Life is like a waltzer
With someone pushing you to your limits
Pressing the seat as you hold on tight
Tailgating
with fareground gimmicks
