Jeopardy Fever

Jeopardy fever gripped the viewers
The winner, James Holzhauer, thirty-two weeks 
Almost two point five million point dollars
Said Alex Trebek: “Never seen such techniques” 

James, a sports gambler who lives in Las Vegas 
Skipped his college classes to play online poker
Forget history books, he reads children’s readers
A quirky persona, the smirk of a joker

Week thirty-three, James faced Emma Boettcher
A Chicago librarian, a Jeopardy buff
James took the early lead; Emma doubled her bet
Neck and neck, which warrior would wind up most tough?

No one imagined she’d beat James’s bid 
But Holy Moly, you Boettcher life she did!
