William and Shakespeare...
Were traveling together and came across a small village. Both being poets, the crowd of people wanted to know whom was the best poet and conducted a contest amongst William and Shakespeare. Shakespeare, with smugness, decided to go first. The mayor gave Shakespeare the word, "Timbuktu" to come up with a poem including the word. Shakespeare, nervously cleared his throat and began.
"Deserts-a-blazin', friary sands, they all headed in their caravans to Timbuktu." The crowd cheers with delight.
Next comes William, cocky as ever...
"Me and Tim, a huntin' we went, found 3 maidens in a tent. With them a 3, and us a 2, I bucked one, and Timbuktu."
