The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists: a university graduate and an old aboriginal.

They were given a word and 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

That is bucking excellent!!!!
