St. Peter doesn't recognize them and asks for identification. They both respond that they are great poets from Earth and are surprised that they're not recognized. St. Peter challenges them - "If you're such great poets. let me hear you form a rhyme for "Timbuktu".
The poets think for a moment, then finally Robert Frost speaks first.
"With such little time, I can only come up with this....". He then continues.
"I walked along the sandy shore.
I listened to the ocean's roar.
A floating ship came into view
Her port of call was Timbuktu."
An impressed St. Peter allowed him access through the gates.
After a slight period of silence, Ogden Nash finally spoke up.
"Okay - this is also rushed, but here goes...."
"Tim and I, a hiking went,
We spied three ladies in a tent.
Since they were three and we were two
I bucked one, and Tim bucked two."
