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 they were given 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 aboriginal top that, they
thought.
The old 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......
