Poetry Humor - A classic!
 

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two semifinalists---

A Yale graduate and a redneck from Alabama.

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 Yale 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 redneck top that, they thought.
The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:

Me and Tim 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.

The redneck won hands down!

Right on man!

I heard that in a Playboy a long, long time ago.

Yes, it is old. This is why I call it a classic. Its funny anyway.

I'm sure there a lot of people here that never heard it before.
