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:
The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:
The redneck won - hands down!
