So Keats and Byron die ...

Heavenly Rhyme-Off 



Poets Keats and Lord Byron died and Saint Peter said that, sadly, he had but one room for  poets in heaven.  To determine which one, Saint Peter asked them to write a poem in sixty-seconds using the word Timbuktu.

Keats wrote:

As I was walking on the shore
listening to the ocean roar
A sailing ship came into view
DestinationTimbuktu.

Lord Byron wrote

As Tim and I astrolling went,
We spied three maidens in a tent.
Since they were three and we were two,
I bukt one and Tim bukt two.
Harvey Martini, most recently

  2. A man with bandy legs walking:

    Keats:
    "O'er hill and dale
    Along the road
    Cometh a man
    With legs a-bowed."

    Shakespeare:
    "Ye gods! What manner o' man is this
    That walks with balls in parenthesis?"
