THE NATIONAL POETRY CONTEST HAD COME DOWN TO
2 SEMI-FINALISTS:
A YALE GRADUATE AND A REDNECK.
THEY WERE GIVEN A SINGLE WORD, THEN ALLOWED TWO MINUTES TO COME
UP WITH A POEM THAT CONTAINED THE WORD
"TIMBUKTU."
FIRST TO RECITE HIS POEM WAS THE YALE GRADUATE .
HE STEPPED UP 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.
THE REDNECK WON HANDS DOWN
