Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

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
