The National Poetry Contest had come down to 2 semi-finalists....a Yale graduate and a redneck from Tennessee. They were given a word, then allowed 2 minutes to study and come up with a poem that contained the word.<br /><br />The word they were given was "Timbuktu"<br /><br />First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped up to the<br />microphone and recited.......<br /><br />Slowly across the sand<br />Trekked a lonely caravan<br />Men on camels, two by two<br />Destination - Timbuktu<br /><br />The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and said.....<br /><br />Me and Tim a huntin went<br />Met three girls in a pop-up tent<br />They was three, and we was two<br />So I bucked one, and Timbuktu<br /><br />The redneck won.
