The National Poetry Contest had come down to the semi-finals between a Yale grad and a backwoods Cajun from the bayous of Louisiana. They were both given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word, and come up with a poem using that word correctly.The word they were given was "Timbuktu".
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate.He confidently 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 with approval. There was no way the backwoods Cajun could possibly do better than that they thought.
The Cajun, with sweat rolling profusely from his brow, made his way to the microphone, and said:
"A friend and I ahunting went,
When we spied three maidens in a tent.
They being three, we being two,
I bucked one and Tim bucked two.
The Cajun moved on to the Finals...
