Poetry Contest

High EGT

Gort! Klaatu barada nikto
The National Poetry Contest Had Come Down To Two:

A Yale Graduate And A Redneck From Southern Maryland

They Were Given A Word, Then Allowed

Two Minutes To Study The Word And Come Up With A Poem.


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.


As The Redneck Calmly Made His Way To The

Microphone And Recited:


'me And Tim, A' Huntin' We Went.

Met Three Gals In A Pop-up Tent.

They Was Three, And We Was Two.

So I Bucked One, And Timbuktu.'


The Somd Redneck Won.
