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

Thanks, Dale. She deserves a pat on the back and a few hugs for having the fortitude to reach for her dream.

Hi Lin, That's quite an achievement. I would be proud of my daughter too. Go ahead and boast. Jeopardy is my mom's favorite game show. She went to a taping many years ago. I will try to watch it:-) Alexis
