The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists, a
university graduate and an old aboriginal man.
 
They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to think about it then
come up with a short poem that contained that 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 !
