Mr. Ladder you are outdated now,
Why don’t you retire peacefully?
This will help to save your face and grace
with which you worked all these days.
Now time has changed.
People are after money
They count seconds in penny
Who cares to climb step after step
Even to press command button
They feel it’s useless,
why to waste time on silly things.
It takes time to climb with you
Yet you offer free fall with great injuries.
So time has come to say goodbye, Mr. Ladder.
Oh Thanks for this gentle reminder Ms. Elevator,
I admit I am outdated, I agree that nobody wish to use me.
I also agree it’s time and energy consuming, to use me.
Yet do you have any alternate when fire breaks out?
Do you have any alternate when electricity goes- off?
Ms. Elevator you are charming, you save time and energy,
How about health and exercise? ?
My free fall is human error and yours technical?
I am in no mood to retire, especially when I see a board hanging
Which says “ Elevator is out of order, please use stairs”
