 Timbuktu - The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists; a
 university graduate and an old aboriginal. They were given a word, and 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 audience went crazy! No way could the old abo 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 was three, and we was two
 So I buck one, and Timbuktu.
