Timbuktu

The Australian poetry contest in 2001 came down to 2 finalists.  One was a Melbourne University law school graduate from an upper-crust family.  The other finalist was a chap from Broadmeadows.

Each finalist had to compose a 4-line poem in 1 minute or less, and the poem had to contain the word "Timbuktu".

The melbourne grad went first.  Abuot 30 seconds after the clock started he jumped up and recited the following:

"Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked the dusty caravan
Men on camels, two by two
Destination - Timbuktu."

The audience went wild.  How, they wondered, could the Broadmeadows guy top that?

The clock started again and the second contestant sat silently in thought.  Finally in the last few seconds, he jumped up and recited:

"Tim and me a-hunting went.
Met three sluts in a pop-up tent.
They were three, we were two,
So I bucked one and Timbuktu."

He won. 
(Just a joke.  Tim bucked two is not Timbuktu.)
