A little late here, but June 13th is International Axe-Throwing Day!

Ever gone to throw an axe? You’ll love it if you try. Grip the handle and relax, Standing firm into your tracks, Release and let it fly. Over end, the axe will spin, And through the air will whisk. To the target, caged within, Close to center, you will win, Like darts with more the risk. In the target, there are rings, That circle round the eye. Each a different point it brings, When towards the board the axe it zings, And wedges in the ply. In the corner, there’s a spot, Which comes with much acclaim. Blue, the color of the dot. If you have a killer shot, Can help you clinch the game. When you come, make sure to pack, No shoes your feet expose. If the board, it gives a smack, And the axe comes bouncing back, Will help to save your toes. Grab a beer, this social game, Is just as good as any. It may even help your aim, But too much is sure to maim, So please don’t have too many.
