THE NATIONAL POETRY CONTEST HAD COME DOWN TO TWO CONTESTANTS

A YALE GRADUATE AND A SOUTHERNER FROM TENNESSEE.
THEY WERE GIVEN A WORD, THEN ALLOWED TWO MINUTES
TO STUDY THE WORD AND COME UP WITH A POEM.

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 SOUTHERNER TOP THAT.

AS THE SOUTHERNER CALMLY MADE HIS WAY TO THE MICROPHONE AND RECITED:

'ME AND TIM, A' HUNTIN' WE WENT.
MET THREE GALS IN A POP-UP TENT.
THEY WAS THREE, AND WE WAS TWO.
SO I BUCKED ONE, AND TIMBUKTU .'








THE SOUTHERNER WON. confused
