Timbuktu

I Just couldn,t resist

Poetry competition


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 up 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.
