Poetry with Timbuktu

Shakespeare and an old drunk Irishman died and went to heaven. When they got to the gate, St. Peter informed them that there was only supposed to be one entry that day. "Not to worry" he said "We have a way to decide which one of you should go to Hell. You will each recite a poem and the best one will tell who stays. Since Shakespeare had a clear advantage I must insist that you both use the word Timbuktu and, to give the Irishman a chance to think, I will ask Shakespeare to go first." Shakespeare began:

     I was walking on the hot, blistering desert sand
     When alas I spotted a caravan
     I asked the leader where it would go to
     He said it's destination was Timbuktu

"Very good Shakespeare" said St. Peter "I'm sure you have won however in fairness we must give the old drunk Irishman a chance." The Irishman was scratching his head in deep thought when a smile came on his face. He said:

     Timothy and I a walking went
     When alas we spotted three maids in a tent
     Since they be three and we be two
     I bucked one and Tim bucked two!

National Poetry Contest
The finals of the National Poetry Contest last year came down to two finalists. One was a Duke University Law School graduate from an uppercrust family; well-bred, well-connected, and all that goes with it.
The other finalist was a redneck from Southeast Alabama A&M. The rules of the contest required each finalist to compose a four-line poem in one minute or less, and the poem had to contain the word "Timbuktu". The Duke graduate went first. About thirty seconds after the clock started he jumped up and recited the following poem:

     "Slowly across the desert sand
     Trekked the dusty caravan.
     Men on camels, two by two
     Destination -- Timbuktu."

The audience went wild!!! How, they wondered could the redneck top that?! The clock started again and the redneck sat in silent thought.
Finally, in the last few seconds, he jumped and recited:

     "Tim and me, a-huntin' went.
     Met three whores in a pop-up tent.
     They was three, we was two,
     So I bucked one and Timbuktu."
