The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists…
1. A University Graduate
2. An old Aboriginal
They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem the word was 'TIMBUKTU'
The University Graduate 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 man top that, they thought.
The Aboriginal calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:
Me and Tim a hunting' went
Saw three deer browsing around the bend,
They were three and we were two
So I bucked one, and TIM BUKTU.
The aboriginal won hands down!!!
