Aussie Poetry Competition

[Guest vacinc]

The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists: a university graduate and an old aboriginal.

 

They were given a word and 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-huntin' went

Met three whores in a pop-up tent

They were three, and we was two

So I bucked one and Timbuktu.

 

 

 

The aboriginal won.
