                                                 A Product of “Ucts”
                                            The Kid was abducted
                                            The expense was deducted
                                            The student was instructed
                                            The view was obstructed
                                            The building was constructed
                                            The soldier was inducted
                                            The music was conducted
                                             But the bankrupt business was misconducted
                                                                                                       Story 305
                                                         The Dud
        Bud, please don’t do this or that! Bud’s mother would often cry.  But Bud would
        reply , “Oh, fuddy-dud !”
        Once Bud left on spigot to purposely cause a flood.  At recess he could never
        catch on to Spud: whenever his number was called – instead of catch, he’d scud.
        His classmates said he acted like the Hollywood super stud, Hud; that is until one
        day when a pretty lass in his class hammered his NOSE and besmeared his CLOTHES
        with blood.  Now instead of “Bud,” everybody now calls him -  “Dud.”
