Timbuktu

The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists - a

  university graduate and an old aboriginal.


  They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and

  come up with a poem that contained the word.


  The word was ' TIMBUKTU '


  First to read his poem was the university graduate. He stepped to the

  microphone and said:


  Slowly across the desert sand,

  Trekked a lonely caravan;

  Men on camels two by two,

  Destination Timbuktu .


  The crowd went crazy! No way could the old man top that, they thought.

  The aboriginal calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:


  Me and Tim a huntin' went,

  Met three whores in a pop up tent;

  They were three, and we were two,

  So I bucked one, and tim buktu.


  The aboriginal won.
