There's No Answer to That!

by Dave Fitzgerald

I sent a recruit for cigarettes
And I said to him
"If you can't get my favourite brand
Then get me anything."
He doubled to the NAAFI
And in no time he was back,
He hadn't got my cigarettes
But a tin of polish, black.
"What have you brought me that for?"
Was what I asked of him.
"They didn't have your brand Bombardier
So I got you anything."

Author's Note: NAAFI- Navy Army Air Force Institute, That's why I gave up smoking, the boot polish tasted awful!

Yes, they are helpless lot and we are too, when we depend on them.
