Daft

Bill said: "Would you like to sail in my craft ?"

Sue said: "No, I don't like any art or craft !"

Bill said: Would you rather white-water in my river raft ?

You may sit either in the fore or the aft."

Sue said: "No! I have a raft of other things to do this sunny Saturday aft

Bill said: "But, Sue, soon I'll be taken in the Army draft !"

Sue said: "Draft, draft ! My father drinks nothing but Miller draft, and

I'm forever writing or sketching a draft. Besides, don’t you

Bill angrily said: "Gees! She’s daft !"

Sue comically said: "Cheese . . . she’s Kraft ?"

Then Bill and then Sue . . . laughed and laughed.
