The two finalists were a Yale graduate and a redneck. The final contest was for them to make a poem in 2 minutes containing a word that would be given to them by the judges. The word was "TIMBUKTU".

The Yale graduate was the first to give his poem:

Slowly across the desert sand,
Trekked a lonely caravan1.
Men on camels two by two,
Destination Timbuktu.

The audience went wild. They thought the redneck would never stand a chance against him-a YALE graduate.

Nevertheless2, the redneck stood up and gave his poem:

Me and Tim a hunting went,
Met three whores in a pop-up tent.
They were three and we were two,
So I bucked3 one and Timbuktu.

The redneck won hands down.
