The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale graduate and a redneck
from Texas. 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 went.
Met three whores in a pop up tent.
They was three, and we was two,
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
