Sheer Poetry - Hedgehog - 07-13-2009 The Australian Poetry Competition had come down two two finalists -- a university graduate and an old aboriginal. 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 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 an' 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.
