Doctor Who: The Visitation

Russell T Davies

RETIRING 
 
On days I don't want to Doctor much 
I worry that I shall lose my touch 
All that running down those corridors 
Thwartings of tyrants and dreadful bores 
Brave rescues from the Foul Monster's Lair 
And firm trouncing all the Demons There. 
 
Chaos never ends, oh that's the shame 
So yes I tire of just one more game. 
Sometimes when the same old fight begins 
I fear, just once, I'll let Evil win. 
And then, on second thought, perhaps I won't 
Because they're Monsters, and so I don't. 
On days like that I don't think at all 
That being the Doctor's so bad after all.
