Learn the African Capitals With Dart Mouth: the Prophylactic Superhero
Dart Mouth, the superhero with the power to vaccinate against any disease by firing a dart from his mouth, had always been fascinated by the beauty and diversity of the African continent. He had heard stories about the vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality of the people, and he felt a poignant combination of desire and shame as he contemplated the contrast between his admiration for Africa and his ignorance of African geography.
Dart Mouth decided to embark on a mission to visit the capital of each African country while darting about and shooting darts from his mouth. He donned his superhero suit, and with a determined look in his eye, he set off on his journey.
His first stop was Algiers, the capital of Algeria. As he darted through the streets, he marveled at the stunning architecture and the bustling energy of the city. He fired his darts with great accuracy, vaccinating the people against any diseases that threatened their health.
Next, he headed to Luanda, the capital of Angola. Here, he saw the vibrant colors and heard the lively music of the people. He darted around the city, smiling and laughing as he vaccinated everyone he met.
From there, he headed to Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. He saw the wildlife and the stunning landscapes that make the country so famous, darting around the city to vaccinate the people who needed it most.
Dart Mouth continued on his journey, darting through the capitals of each African country. He visited Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, and Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic. He saw the stunning beaches and sparkling waters of Libreville, the capital of Gabon, and the lively markets of Accra, the capital of Ghana.
He continued on, visiting other countries and their capitals, including Conakry in Guinea, Banjul in The Gambia, and Nairobi in Kenya. He darted around the cities, using his powers to vaccinate the people against any diseases that threatened their health.
As he visited each country, Dart Mouth was struck by the incredible beauty and diversity of the African continent. He saw the stunning landscapes, heard the lively music, and met the warm and welcoming people. He knew that he would never forget this incredible journey.
Finally, after visiting the capital of each African country, Dart Mouth returned home, exhausted but exhilarated by his adventure. He knew that he had made a difference, and he hoped that his journey would inspire others to explore the beauty and diversity of the world.
Upon Returning to his secret lair beneath Dartmouth College he composed the following verses to memorialize his journey.
As Dart Mouth I darted through Africa’s lands, Firing darts from my mouth with without using my hands, From Algiers (Population: 2.3 million) to Luanda (Population: 7.7 million), and beyond, from the ivory coast to a Mbuti pond.
In each capital I left my mark, A shining beacon in the dark, I vaccinated those who needed it most, then darted away like a vaccine ghost.
The beauty of Africa took my breath, I can’t even tell you which part I liked best, From stunning landscapes to vibrant cultures, And friendly people, each one a sculpture.
I knew the importance of vaccination, A shield against diseases that brought affliction, I spread the word with every dart, To keep Africans healthy and vaccine smart.
I visited Gaborone (Population: 231,000) in Botswana, Ouagadougou (Population: 2.8 million) in Burkina Faso, and Banjul (Population: 31,000) in The Gambia. I saw the stunning beaches and sparkling waters of Libreville (Population: 703,000) in Gabon, And the lively markets of Accra (Population: 2.3 million) in Ghana.
I continued on, visiting other countries and their capitals, Including Conakry (Population: 1.6 million) in Guinea, and Nairobi (Population: 4.4 million) in Kenya, Darting around the cities, using my powers to vaccinate, Against any diseases that threatened their fate.
I returned from my journey, tired but content, A superhero with a mission, and a message sent, To cherish Africa’s beauty, diversity and worth, And to vaccinate for health, for joy, and for mirth.
