The National Poetry Contest

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale graduate and
a Jamaican Rastaman.

They were given a word, and 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 Rastaman top that, they thought.

The Rastaman 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 Rastaman won!
