The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale graduate and
a redneck from Texas. 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."

to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to thefirst
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!
