Funerals can truly be augmented by a poem that is apt and fitting for the person you have just lost. The following list of funeral poems about darts are perfect for those who always sought the bullseye, or that magical score of one hundred and eighty!
Darts
by David E. Navarro
Pierce a bull’s eye if you dare
throw a fine dart through the air
center it upon the dot
give it everything you got.
Watch it sink into the hair
the chiseled point will disappear
another sip of ale to boot
game set match—the point is moot.
The Eight-Foot Mark
by Noel E. Williamson
There are those who prefer the shorter throw
And those who prefer the long,
And it hardly matters from where you aim
If your darts are going wrong!
Just throw your best, and throw with zest,
And remember the follow-through,
And practice whenever you get the chance
If you know what’s good for you!
Don’t ‘get your feet wet’ when you throw,
And to this advice please hark,
Take up a firm but easy stance –
Behind the eight-foot mark!
Take It Easy
by Noel E. Williamson
When playing darts, it is agreed,
A steady hand is what you need.
A good eye and a perfect stance.
(For darts is not a game of chance!)
Don’t look to right or left at all,
For that is how the mighty fall!
The board is your target, – not the mat,
So, be careful what you’re aiming at!
Forget what is happening all around,
And keep both feet upon the ground;
Don’t let anything hurry you,
And let each dart fly straight and true!
Once you have acquired the knack,
Believe me, you will not look back!
