Success scrambles.

Success scrambles.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Success was no more
snakes and ladders,
while some used
a ladder to get
to the top,
on a dice's roll,
the climb saw
many snakes fall,
on a corporate
Mt. Everest.

Slippery slopes no doubt! Astute observation of the danger of climbing to the top in the corporate world. The throat that is cut while climbing up, will be the slippage encountered while falling down...Great imagery with ladders and snakes of changing fortune- "on a dice's roll". So true!
