It took me a while to get over the news; I was overcome with grief and felt my self falling into a great abyss of despair when the impact of the announcement hit me.

Corporate communications officer Penny Gomez is leaving the National Cultural Foundation (NCF)! I took the news like a “horn” I cried like a baby for the whole day, I could not believe Penny was going. You know that is the end of me going to government meetings. When I attend those long arduous sessions during Crop Over, the only thing which kept me going was the sight of Penny. Some times I would be at NCF meetings and lies and allegations would be flying all over the place and I would just feel like getting up and busing. Then Penny would look at me and smile and it would be like, what’s a nasty lie that I can’t take.

Penny leaving NCF is a matter that should concern United Artistes and Batman. The industry needs to stand unified on this point and send a letter to the Prime Minister. I for one, am willing to go down to the NCF and chain my self to her car so she cannot leave. (some body would have to hide her keys first though)

The question is why does every one keep leaving NCF? Addington Forde left, Wayne Simmons left, and now pretty Penny. When will it stop? Are they leaving or are they being pushed? What deep dark bald headed secrets does the NCF hold that keeps repelling people away? But Penny leaving got me good, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep I now seeing a grief counselor.

Penny if you read this:

You are more than a penny to me,
You are more like a dollar,
and a U.S dollar too,
Not no Guyanese one

On that romantic note I close
Oh how I will miss Penny!
