Poetry competition
Posted: 23 Nov 2008, 19:22
The New Zealand Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists; a university graduate and an old Maori boy. They were given a word, and 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 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 Maori boy top that, they thought.
The old Maori boy 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 old maori boy won
