Australian Poetry Competition..

The Australian Poetry competition had come down to two finalists - a university graduate and an old aborigine.
They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained  the given 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 aborigine 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 bucked one, and TIMBUKTU.


The aborigine won.
