Jeopardy
Nothing I like more than a good Jeopardy show
The clues, many complex, on that answer board,
Two challengers trying to make the champion go
Betting in final what they think they can afford.
Jeopardy, in case you don’t know, is a trivia game
Given answers, players respond with a question,
For many years Mr. Alex Trebec hosted the same
Now avid watchers tune in each day with passion.
Particularly entertaining is a long-running champ
And excitement builds as challengers get tough
Some, like Ken Jennings, could’ve set up camp
But in the end, for him, too, the going got rough!
Such a pleasure to see the old records fall away
As new players arrive on the scene with clout
I love to see young people get excited to play
More when one of them takes a champion out.
