There is a version of a complete poem circulating the Internet, and while it is unconfirmed whether this is the complete poem, or who the actual author is, it reads as follows:{{TitleSort}} | |||
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 to 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 his all for what | |||
The Time Lords 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 | |||
But the clock carried on | |||
With a tick and a tock | |||
And soon it was striking | |||
Upon ten o'clock | |||
The tenth hour was long | |||
With a rich, honest glow | |||
But ten's 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 | |||
Eleven's hour is over now | |||
The clock is striking twelve's | |||
