Dave Ross and Colleen O’Brien, the hosts of “Seattle’s Morning News” for the last 10 years, are both departing 成人X站 Newsradio and their final show together airs Thursday morning. The departure of Dave, who has been with 成人X站 Newsradio for 47 years, has inspired another “Jason Rantz Show” poem.

Dave Ross, the legend, signs off the 成人X站 Newsradio air,
Leaving a void 鈥 and his cup of hot water and lemon in the sink over there.
A fixture of mornings, his voice set the tone,
Making Seattle news feel less unknown.

I remember hitting the road to Philly and Cleveland鈥檚 sprawl,
The DNC, RNC 鈥 what a haul.
Dave Ross, Dori Monson, and I sharing a meal and a ride,
Awkward small talk was safe; politics? Oof. We set that aside.

In the breakroom, a daily sight to see,
Dave with his hot water 鈥 not Coke Zero or coffee, like me.
A slight nod, a 鈥渉ey,鈥 then he was back to the grind,
Knowing his mic skills? Truly one of a kind.

Sure, we disagreed on a thing or two,
(OK, maybe it鈥檚 nearly everything, certainly more than a few).
But sharing the building with a guy like that?
It鈥檚 a badge of honor 鈥 no strings attached.

So here鈥檚 to you, Dave, a farewell toast,
For a career that鈥檚 earned you the very most.
I skipped iambic pentameter 鈥 sue me, Dave!
But at least it鈥檚 not a lazy haiku I gave.

Enjoy the mornings without a script 鈥
Just don鈥檛 forget your hot water and lemon on your trip.
