January 23, 2006 - I was saddened by the news of the untimely death of ka-Ernie Baron. =( ‘I wanted to meet him in person’, is one of my childhood wish. I looked up to him. amazed by his genuisities. bad.
ANyway, got this poem from the net, a poem for him. I can’t make onE… I’m bad aT woRds, so here:
THE LAST WEATHER REPORT 
the wise weatherman dies;
his face as familiar as
local monsoon rains.
local network mourns
passing of pixellated monarch
on Philippine television screen.
he is also the undisputed
king of trivia, knowing even the
most trivial of things. his
final report indicates that death
is as inevitable as today’s sunset at
6:03 pm; like tomorrow’s
cloudy skies and scattered
rainshowers. towards the end
of the segment, he says:
trivia: yes, death is
like evening news
like weather report
like pointing rod on Philippine map;
inevitable.
and let us remember:
when there is no knowledge,
there is no power.
bye-bye.
