It looks like you are trying very hard to use a div to make a table or an ordered list. How about just using an ordered list??
Code:
<ol>
<li>Down the rabbit-hole</li>
<li>The pool of tears</li>
</ol>
CSS:
ol {margin:.5em 25%; list-style-type:upper-roman; list-style-position:outside}
li {margin:0 0 .5em; text-align:left; page-break-inside:avoid}
