Poem vs Poem

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 ... "
