> The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale
graduate and a

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. 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!
