A priest and a shepherd from Australia participate in a TV game. After answering all the questions, there is
a tie. So both are given one final assignment. It is to write a poem in three minutes, using the word
"Timbuktu". It is city in Africa.
The priest returns with the fruit of his inspiration:
"I was a father all my life,
I had no children, had no wife,
I read the bible through and through
on my way to Timbuktu ... "
The poem makes a great impression, and the priest smells a sweet victory. But then comes the shepherd,
with his winning masterpiece:
"When Tim and I of Brisbane went
We met three women cheap to rent.
They were three and we were two,
So I booked one and Tim Booked Two ... "
