Timbuktoo (oldie and adult content)
It was the final of the ''Australian Poetry Championships'' and was down to the last two contestants.
Contestant One: a university graduate.
Contestant Two: A wily old aboriginal man from Arnhem Land.
The hall for the final was packed to the rafters!
The judges had come up with the format to pick the champion,
that each would be given the same word and they had two minutes to study the
word and then recite a poem which included the word. The word was ''TIMBUKTOO''.
The uni student drew the short straw and went first and recited slowly...
''Slowly across the desert sands treks a lonely caravan''
''Men on camels two by two, destination Timbuktoo''.
The crowd went wild, cheering and clapping. There was no way they thought the old
aboriginal guy would be able to top that.
When the cheering died down the old guy sauntered up to the mike and said;
''Me and Tim a-hunting went''
''Met three whores in a pop-up tent''
''They were three and we were two''
''I bucked one and Tim bucked two''
