<OT> I think it goes some thing like this:

In a literary contest, the two finalist are Lord Abbott from Great Britain and Joe Bob Hobo from the backwoods of Arkansas. The judge told each finalist to write a poem with the word Timbuktu. First Lord Abbott, who proudly stepped up to the microphone, cleared his throat and confidently recited:

Crossing the dessert sand
We travel in a caravan
Riding camel two by two
Destination Timbuktu


The crowd cheered, a big big applause, and Lord Abbott returned to his seat with a smile ear to ear. Now is the Joe Bob's turn. He got up from his chair, stumbled slowly to the microphone, and asked the judge, "What is Timbuktu? Could you define it for me?". Everybody laughed when the judge denied the request and told Joe Bob to go on.
After beating his brain, Joe Bob finally recited:

Tim and I camping went
Met three girls in a tent
Since they are three and we are two
I buck one and Tim buck two


Lord Abbott got the first runner-up...

Enjoy
