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 abo 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.
