The Poetry Contest

[FranEMTnurse, CNA, LPN, EMT-I]

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale graduate and a

redneck from Texas. 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' 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!
