Step right up ladies and gentlemen
it's time to choose your playing pieces
though it really doesn't matter
you'll all come to the same fate
Take a turn at the dice
a quick toss shall
set the pace to
this deadly game
Time to line up
on the starting square
player one time to draw a card
and make the first move
Match the color on your card
to the color on the board
but please watch out
for the special squares
Do avoid the gum drops
for they aren't what they seem
festering pools of quick sand is
what they are
Meant to slow you do
and hold you in place
for all the wild beast
that roam the board
Dare you move on?
Well too bad so sad
you must must move
onward and upward
but please watch out
for gloopy our swamp monster
He enjoys ripping you limb for limb
saving your head for last
listening to you screaming
begging and pleading
for the end to come
Best of luck through the game
Hope you make it to the end
but don't be surprised when
your end comes
in this candyland hell
