Australian Poetry Competition - Behind The Goals

**montego** · 11-27-2009, 05:55 PM

The Australian Poetry Competition held in the Sydney Opera House had come
down to two finalists;

A) The university graduate.

B) An old aboriginal.

They were given a word, and then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a short four line 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.
