It was the world final of the lymerick telling competition and there was a tie
|
|
for first place...so the judge decided that the only way to find a winner was
|
|
to have a joke off....he announced that he would select someone from the
|
|
audience and whatever word that person said the two finalist would have to say
|
|
a lymerick that ended in that word
|
|
the judge pointed to a guy and the guy stood up and yelled out Timbucktoo
|
|
so the two finalist had to say a lymerick that ended in Timbucktoo
|
|
the first guy got and said
|
|
I've been a parson all my life
|
|
saving people from sin and stife
|
|
I've read the bible through and through
|
|
all the way from oodnadatta to Timbucktoo
|
|
(oodnadatta a place in Australia)
|
|
the second guy got up and said:
|
|
Tim and I a shearing went
|
|
we met three sheilas in a tent
|
|
they were three and we were two
|
|
so I buck one and Timbucktoo
