Funny!

William Wordsworth and Robert Frost had an argument in Heaven over who was a better poet. It got very loud so Saint Peter told them they could settle it by having a poetry contest with the condition that the poem had to end with “Timbuktu”.

Wordsworth presented his poem.

It would be lovely for me and you

to fall in love out of the blue

then journey off to Timbuktu

Frost realized it would a challenge and then decided to be clever.

Into the woods, Tim and I went

We met three maidens in a tent

Since they were three and we were two

I buck one and Timbuktu
