Answer 2

There was competition in a bar for the best joke poem or song ending in Timbuktu,many had tried but none were very good,then this guys got up and said he had a rhyme -go ahead says the bar man :

"As I was strolling down the strand
I saw two ships just off the land
One was flying the red white and blue
And the other was bound for Timbucktu"

Very good said the bar man and was about to give him the prize when this wee Irish lad pipes up "ah be jasus sir,I think I have a bether one than that ",OK says the bar man lets hear it :

"Well Tim and I were down in Kent
We saw three women in a tent
Tim and I had nothing to do
So I bucked one and Timbucktu "
