The Dart Board

Darts boards on the wall There are twelve together The twelve teams are formed To make friendship with fun Everyone throws a dart For the highest number Then second,third,fourth Now the game begins Some darts thrown hit the floor The others miss the board Its not easy as it looks Some darts hit the walls The others aim for the middle It does not happen to often A lot of darts thrown miss Never hit the dart board

Is there a secret? Whose picture is in the middle of the dart board, I wonder? I'd like to throw at Putin's face, Xi's, or Kim's, but I fear that many of my fellow Americans would rather throw at Trump, Obama, Bush, or Clinton. (Phooey.... Funny, but I went to college at DARTmouth College in New Hampshire!.. Thanks, Darlene. ~ Gershon

Hello Gershon Wolf, I would throw a dart at Trump. I can not stand him. Also I do not like Trudeau I don't like him he is too young to be Prime Minister of Canada.He made a big mess. Have a nice evening my friend.

A wonderful depiction of the hazards of the game of darts, Darlene! Many thanks for your kind comments re Abandoned School House and best to you - Bob

Hello Robert L. Hinshaw, I was not a good dart player. I would miss the big board. I have never seen an abandoned school house. It should be a museum piece somewhere. Have a nice evening my friend.

So, that means there's a lot of dull darts at your house? Seriously, great imagery and metaphor in this. I wish more "darts" would miss as people sometimes say what they really don't mean, in anger. Well done.

I have to say I am no good at it but they sure do hit the floor! Most do not want to admit it.
