Ten White Man On A Dirt Road
Ten white men standing on a dirt road.
Killed by three eyes as black as night.
What happened?
Someone bowled a strike. The ten white men are the pins, the dirt road is the bowling alley (it’s not dirt, but it’s the color of dirt, and if it said a smooth wooden alley it wouldn’t be much of a riddle). Three eyes as black as night are the finger holes in the bowling ball.
Run Smoother Than Any Rhyme

I peel like an onion but still remain whole,
I’m long like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole
What am I?
A snake.
