When I Appeared On Jeopardy

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
