JokesThe finals of the National Poetry Contest this year came down to two finalists. One was a Duke University Law School graduate from an upper crust; well-bred, ell-connected family, and all that goes with it. The other finalist was a redneck from Southeast Tennessee A&M . The rules of the contest required each finalist to compose a four line poem in one minute or less, and the poem had to contain the word "Timbuktu".
The Duke graduate went first. About thirty seconds after the clock started he jumped up and recited the following poem.
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 redneck top that??!! The clock started again and the redneck sat in silent thought... Finally, in the last few seconds, he jumped up and recited:
Tim an me, a-huntin' went
Met three whores in a pop-up tent
They was three, we wuz two
So I bucked one and Timbuktu.
