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
