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 recite 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 hookers in a pop up tent
They were three, and we was two
So I bucked one, and timbuktu .
The aborigine won.
