Timbuktu

[Little Black Duck]

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 timbuktu .

The aboriginal won.
