Timbuktu
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 4:52 amA priest and an Aussie shepard were competing against each other in a quiz.
After all the normal questions were finished it was a tie so the quizmaster asked them both to, within a minute, come up with a poem that included the word "Timbuktu".
After a minute the priest was first to recite his poem:
I was a father all my life,
had no children, had no wife,
I read the bible through and through
on my way to Timbuktu.
The audience were delighted and were prepared to declare the priest winner of the quiz when the shepard got up from his chair and and slowly began:
When Tim and I to Brisbane went,
we met three ladies cheap to rent;
They were three and we were two,
so I booked one and Tim booked two.
