Ode to the Doctor

Tribute to Doctor Who

You fled your home world

Stole a machine called 'TARDIS'

Ran from Gallifrey

Played the recorder

Wore a bow tie and had fun

Always lost your way

Were stranded on Earth

Wore regal garbs and fixed cars

A man of action

You wore a long scarf

Offering Jelly Babies

Eyes merry with mirth

Abandoned your tool

That trusty sonic screwdriver

While you played cricket

Took on darker hues

Though your wardrobe could always

Leave anyone blind

Became short and cold

A grand master chess player

With an umbrella

Romantic and young

The man who would run from war

Lost in harmony

Emerged a warrior

Became the Oncoming Storm

Who would save us all

Go on to find Rose

Face down evil without fear

Shouting 'Fantastic'

Build a family

Remember to love again

And cry out 'Allon-sy!'

Reclaim the bow tie

Get married and face silence

Blasting out 'Geronimo!'

Play the magician

Rock out your philosophy

Contemplate your place

Many still wonder

At your name, but we all know

Who is the Doctor

Just what the Doctor ordered! - and the poem should be set to the music of the Time Lords!

Listen to I Am The Doctor while reading it, that's what I was listening to as I wrote it
