The national poetry contest had come down to two contestants-- one a Yale graduate-- the other a Texas redneck. They were given
a word, then allowed two minutes to come up with a poem that contained the word.

The word they were given was --- "Timbuktu".

First to recite was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:

Slowly across the desert sand
trekked a lonely caravan
men on camels, two by two
destination - Timbuktu.

The audience was impressed and gave well deserved applause. They thought there was no way the redneck Texan could top that.
But the redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:

Me and Tim a huntin' went
met three whores in a pop up tent
they was three, and we was two
so I bucked one, and Timbuktu.

The redneck Texan won.

That's awesome. :D

Careful...we may upset some Rednecks.

Laird,

Funny :D

I is a redneck, and I is upset. I believe I must now delete my own post.

I have lived in Texas for almost 30 years and rarely if ever was the term "redneck" heard.

What you are calling a Texas "redneck" is really a "kicker" as in cowboy type that is kicking cow $$$$ and riding horses.

In the state for 45 years, out of the state for 5 (to get ejukaded). From within the state - kicker. From outside the state - redneck.

I grew up in Tejas. Bob is right.

That joke made me laugh out loud in my office. People were wondering what I was up to. Too bad I can't really share that joke in the office. Might upset someone.

We Texans be $h!t Kickers and trailer trash. Evidently Missouri is a big trailer trash state also. This is one of my favorite sites: http://home.postnet.com/~trailertrash/index.htm I think these folks are as mod-happy as some our our fellow forum members!
