An Alex Trebek Obit Poem
The Answer Is
The answer is
Or is it not
Our favorite host has lost his spot
The questions came and answers flew
He always knew and hoped you knew too
The years have marked this man of wit
Who showed his best each night
He fought Cancer and lost the fight
On November 8th he said his last goodnight
So cool and calm we loved his way
His smile and charm ended our long day
What will we do as the sun goes down
Our Jeopardy host is horizon bound
He left a book to tell his past
A memoir of a life to last
Through time for those who someday ask
Who was this man Alex Trebek
We know he will not be replaced
This smiling guy with grace and taste
Left more than just his episodes
Those questions that so quickly flowed
He left us with so many why’s
Questions for each day
To give our brains some exercise
We played his game his way.
