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 whores in a pop up tent/*
*/They were three, and we was two/*
*/So I bucked one, and timbuktu ./*
*//*
The aboriginal won.
