An Australian Poetry Competition held in the Sydney Opera House had come Down to two finalist:
A) The university graduate
B) An old aboriginal man
They were given a word then allowed two minutes to study the word.
Then up with a short four line poem that contained the word.
The word they were 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 man 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 Tim-buk-TU .
The aboriginal man won.
