llan Ramon, an astronaut,
Was one of Columbia's crew,
That in 2003 was caught
In the tragedy coming true,

A hill on a back road somewhere.
Suddenly, there's a blur of brown,
And I crash right into a bear.

One year in loving, wedded bliss.
Neither of them had much money,
But had in mind a gift for this.

When death came for the anchor man,
And took him right to heaven to
Take over news for the H Span.

An extra charge if deaf or blind.

Was not quite like the poem said.
Poetic license taken may
Have stretched the truth a bit instead.
