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 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 hunting' went

Met three whores in a pop up tent

They was three, and we was two

So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
