A Little Aboriginal Poetry

[Brian_UK]

Came across this earlier today....

The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists;

A university graduate and an old aboriginal.

They were given a word, 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 university 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 old aboriginal top that, they thought.

The old aboriginal calmly made his way to the microphone and recited;

Me and Tim a huntin' went
Met three whores in a pop up tent
They were three, and we was two
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.

The aboriginal won!
