Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

 

Tonight On Jeopardy

Tonight my daughter will be on Jeopardy
OH, how exciting that will be!
It's not easy to be an invited guest
but for a long time it's been her quest.

Tune in and watch my daughter play
As for the results I cannot say
It was taped a few months ago
and she did win a little dough.

I'm just a Mom, proud of her young
fulfilling a dream. Her song is sung
Please forgive me for boasting
but this poem needed posting
