NATIONAL POETRY CONTEST The National Poetry Conest had come down to two finalists: a Yale graduate and a redneck. They were given a word then allowed two minutes to study it and come up with a poem using the word. The word was "Timbuktu". The Yale graduate went first... Slowly across the desert sand Trekked a lonely caravan Men on camels, two by two Destination- Timbuktu. The crowd went crazy and figured there was no way for the redneck to win. But he calmed stepped up 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 Tim-buk-tu. The redneck won unanimously.
