The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to 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 and 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. The aboriginal won.
