Crabs for a Thousand, Please, Alex

Way back in time, last summer, July,
Ken Jennings was the JEOPARDY guy.
Every night at 7:30 we'd turn the show on.
By eight, another two challengers were gone.
Potpourri, religion and questions high tech,
Quick with the answer, he amazed Al Trebek.
Ken'd win about 50 thousand dollars a show.
By December, he'd won a whole lot of dough.
He knew all the questions/answers, whatever...
He even knew NY state governors, clever!
Any category at all: capital cities, Star Trek,
presidents, wine...he's always correct.
He'd get obscure questions about a volcano
I'd just shake my head, "how did he know?"
We couldn't believe he could win every day,
He's so damn smart, he's just gotta be gay.
No category in JEOPARDY was beyond his scope,
Every other contestant would look like a dope.
His unique genius had taken him so far,
That he became an American celebrity star.
But, after 74 games of ruling the Daily Double
he blanked on some questions that gave him real trouble.
Finally it happened...a brain freeze lock,
He couldn't come up with "H&R Block"
Nancy Zerg had it right! and then
the audience gasped, but cheered for Ken!
Thanks Ken for the run, you made it interesting.
You're number one, the all-time game show king.
