Playing The Game Of Life Poem by Gita Ashok

Life is like a game of chess.
Plan well your moves
if you don’t want to lose.

Life is like a game of Scrabble.
Worrying about the Ws and Qs
is absolutely of no use.

Life is like a game of Uno.
What’s going to happen next,
You and I will never know.

Life is like a game of Jeopardy.
Always be alert and ready -
ahead of time and never tardy.

Life is like a game of dice.
For everything in this world,
you have to pay a price.

Life is like a game of carom.
Know the black from the white
and the wrong from the right.

Life is like a game of Monopoly.
Adopt a good strategy –
so you’ll have less to worry.

Life is like a dartboard.
With sharp focus you have to try -
else you won’t hit the bull’s eye.

Life is like a game of cards.
Win or lose, you’ve got to stay.
You won’t always have an ace to play.

Life is like a game of Hide-n-Seek
Be wise, be smart, be strong.
And never stray into a path that’s wrong.

Whatever game life makes you play,
play by the rules carefully –
and you’ll taste victory eventually.
