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 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 aborigine top that, they thought. Then the old aborigine calmly made his way to the microphone and recited: Me and Tim a huntin' went, Met three Gals in a pop up tent, They were three, and we was two, So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
