I don't really know who this is by, on amino it said they got it from Eric Ritchie Junior, but I don't think Eric Ritchie was a real person? Or if he was, he wasn't the poet mentioned on the show
Anyway, onto the poem.
"For One the journey had just begun,
Old but young his time to come.
But soon enough the clock struck Two
The face must change, the music must too.
So Two began,
And played it cool
To some extent he was a fool.
But time it waits
For no one now.
The clock ticked on to Three and how
A dandy time
Spent Three in time,
But the hour of Four was soon to chime
The longest hour was spent at Four
But soon enough the clock crept lower.
The dance of Four began to jive
Passing the floor from Four to Five.
Five began with great aplomb,
But time is like a ticking bomb.
For Five the times they went too fast
Soon Six was blasting from the past.
Six was fresh and played it well,
But didn't hear the ringing bell.
The chime that brought it to an end
Signalled Seven to start it all again.
Dear Seven,
He gave it all - for what?
The Time Lord's time
It did just stop.
The bell did toll
For Eight once more.
But not for long
In Gallifreyan lore.
Like hands of ice
That were frozen in time,
The clock thawed once more
And struck number Nine
So short was the time
That the clock struck on Nine
The adventures were cut short
In space and time
The tenth hour was long
In a rich honest glow.
But Tens' time was up
He just didn't want to go
But time waits for no man
Old one or young.
And Ten became Eleven
The final countdown begun
And now it's time for one last bow
Like all your other selves.
Elevens' hour is over now
The clock is striking Twelve's. "
Honestly I knew that last verse off by heart 😟
