Jamesyboi Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The Australian 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 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. But the old Aboriginal 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 BUCKED ONE AND TIM BUKTU* The old Aboriginal won!
