TIMBUKTU

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two semifinalists…
a Yale graduate and a redneck from Kentucky.

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 Yale 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 redneck top that, they thought.

But 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 Yale grad is appealing the judge's final decision.

Note: For those of you who didn't understand,  'buck' can be a slang term here in the US (at least in my neck of the woods) for 'f*ck'. Thank you Lisa for suggesting I explain.
