TIMBUKTU


A Poetry Competition was held in the Baton Rouge had come down to two finalists;


A) An LSU graduate.

VS

B) Boudreaux.


They were given a word, and then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a short four line poem that contained the word.


The word they were given was ' TIMBUKTU '.


First to recite his poem was the LSU 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 Boudreaux top that, they thought.


Boudreaux calmly made his way to the microphone and recited;


Me and Tim a huntin' went

Met three hoes in a pop up tent

They were three, and we were two

So I bucked one, and Timbuktu .


Boudreaux won.
