We're at the National Poetry Contest Finals. We're down to two finalist:
One is a Duke University Law School student from a very well to do family, the other is a Redneck from South East Alabama A&M.
The rules are: the contestants have 60 seconds to compose a four line poem which must contain the word Timbuktu.
The clock starts, the men are thinking... After about 30 seconds the Duke student jumps up and says:
"Slowly across the desert sand
Treks the dusty caravan
Men on camels, two by two
Destination Timbuktu."
The crowd went wild. How on earth could the redneck top that? So the Aggie stands up and slowly walks to the microphone, then says:
"Tim and me a huntin' we went
Met three whores in a pop up tent
They was three and we was two
So I bucked one and Timbuktu."
