TIMBUKTU

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 tim buktu."

 

 

 

 

The aboriginal won.
