When I Appeared on Jeopardy!

I expected to win big.

When I Appeared on Jeopardy

 

By Elton Camp

 

When it was on Jeopardy! I got to appear

I expected my opponents to cringe in fear

 

For a person with an IQ as high as mine

Is rare and just so extremely hard to find

 

For I have earned the BA., MA. and PhD

One as intelligent as me you just don’t see

 

I am an authority on any category you name

So it is certain that I will win big at this game

 

The others likely won’t be on the board at all

As before my towering intellect they will fall

 

It’s a new one-day high total I expect to earn

So, when it’s over, I will have money to burn

 

To tell Alex, “I’ll make it a true daily double”

Is a decision that won’t cause me any trouble

 

How I ended in the red like that puzzles me

That the silly game was fixed is all it can be
