Doctor Who Limericks

[eve11]

There's a Doctor Who limerick challenge going on over at Teaspoon. So here are my entries, jotted down today in leiu of lunch...




============

In a Nutshell
--------------

A grandpa, a clown and a dandy
defer to a scarf and some candy;
while Docs Five through Eight
fuel fierce fan debate,
Nine dances and Ten is just randy.

A TARDIS Tale
-------------

Now here is a Type 40 TARDIS,
She may not be the fastest or smartest;
She's not very posh
As a beat-up blue box,
But she knows how to go where her heart is.

How she flies like a kite on the breeze!
She traverses the Vortex with ease!
His anchor, his peer,
She's--CRASH! BANG!-- oh dear.
She's aeons beyond warranties.

The Doctor is done being nice,
He's wheedled, he's hammered and spliced;
There's no 'get-up-and-go'
In that old neutron flow
(and he's reversed the polarity twice!).

So the Doc's in a bit of a bind
For a Type 40 de-ionizing spectral wavefront K-beta stabilizer.
Forget lonely hearts;
It's scrounging spare parts
That's hell on the last of one's kind.


Regeneration Blues

Both of these are utter genius and pure joy!

I'm considering them my early birthday present. (Though I know writing them had piss all to do with it.) ^_^

Aw, happy birthday! And thanks! Glad you enjoyed them :)

Bravo!! Great stuff!

Which reminds me: have you been d/ling Torchwood? I guess it's on now; I've just been too lazy to get it so far.

[eve11]

thanks!

I have the first five of Torchwood. So far it's enjoyable. I'm not fangirling over it yet, though...

Thanks! And you are one of the other math-geeks from over there, yeah? Thanks for stopping by :D
