Subject: Timbuktu, a literary masterpiece!
Timbuktu - a ripper!
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 audience 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 was three, and we was two
So I buck one, and timbuktu.
The aboriginal won.
