The National Poetry Contest had come down to two
semifinalists---
A Yale graduate and a redneck from Wyoming.
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 Yale 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 redneck top that, they thought.
The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:
Me and Tim a huntin we went,
Met three whores in a pop up tent.
They was three, and we was two
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
