The Ladders

So I chased myself up a tree
There was no one there before me
I hung on hours before I fell asleep
Some dogs around the neighborhood
Became so incensed with me
'Cause they can't get to me
Where I am ladders wait to see
Ladders wait to see what I need
Nothing that they got interests me
Somedays ahead that there's no reasoning
Things that have plagued others
Are now happening to me
And they can get to me
Where I am ladders climb the tree
Ladders line the branches of the trees
Waiting for their chances to get at me
I think this has to be seen to believe
Nothing I can offer will convince them all to leave
