THE END OF AN ERA
He's ready for a change now
And goes by the name of Mike.
He travels in a phone box
And occasionally by bike.
So if you see him drifting by
Up in the sky near you,
Please raise your glass and drink a toast:
"Goodbye to Dr. Who!"
(With thanks to Tess at Magpie Tales)
travels in a phone box? That's new. Fun poem though.
ReplyDeleteA most excellent image.
ReplyDeleteWe should all get to travel that way!

Looks like he's gone enviromentally friendly (don't know what powers the TARDIS though - maybe that was green too?)
ReplyDeleteCome back Doctor, come back!
ReplyDeleteAww, shucks - here's to you anyway, 'Cheers!'
hahaha - love it!
We were on the same track. I enjoyed yours.
ReplyDelete... my kind of time travel! Great Mag.
ReplyDeleteThat's what was needed, a touch of the surreal...

Oh, Frances! You're on a roll! I love the first stanza. I truly miss the old phone booths where people had their conversations in private and we didn't have to listen in.
ReplyDeleteI love that you got Dr. Who in this!!! You rock!
ReplyDeleteCool travel riff ...
ReplyDeleteNow that's a new idea for Dr Who!
ReplyDeleteDr Who will be after your blood! LOL
ReplyDeleteHe seems to lead a perfect sci-fi life..wait for me!!
ReplyDeleteSuper little poem!
ReplyDeleteRe: verification word
Go to your main page, click "Design", then click "Settings" and on the second line you'll see "comments" and click that. Near the bottom of that page you'll see "word verification" on or off.
Hope this helps.

I would love to see him drifting by...

Good to know we can always come here for a chuckle.
ReplyDeleteWV's. I find that Kay's advice applies only if you are using the "old style" blogger dashboard. I have hunted high and low on the "new" and can't find how to turn these wretched inkblots off. I sent "feedback" to Blogger complaining about them but no doubt I might as well cry in the wilderness. Frances knows I'm not a robot . . looks like "ronzone" and October. Here goes
By now you have learned you need to be using the old style version of Blogger .. it's worth switching back, I promise.
ReplyDeletecases tionase
are the two words
(I THINK) I must enter her - I'll know soon enough if I'm right!
Thanks, eveyrone, and thanks too for the blogger advice. I don't know who invented all these ink blots but they are infuriating and quite unnecessary. After all, a robot wouln't be able to decipher the old VWs, so why make them even worse?
ReplyDeletei met someone like him, very memorable in his ways.
ReplyDeleteLove the rhythm and rhyme of your pieces...always read them out loud...
