Inside the TARDIS, from eleven to twelve
Into a Time Lord’s story we further delve
The transformation now starts to begin
But the essence of the man remains deep within
The secret of such terrific change
Is held inside a Gallifreyan’s stage
Two beating hearts and a new kidney
The ‘Time of the Doctor’ was when you would be
With Clara beside you on all your adventures
Some proved a challenge; some too mad to mention
A rock star’s entrance with wailing guitars
Meeting your match in Mayor Me/Ashildr
Chipping away through centuries of stone
Persistent in nature, killing time, all alone
Getting tied up in knots; the ultimate contortions
Facing solitary challenges of epic proportions
Dining with River at the Darillion Towers
Defeating the Daleks with all of your powers
A field full of hands force the ultimate decision
Then your pay in the future by Davros’ derision
Not always getting it oh so right
But never, ever giving up the fight
Clara gives strength whenever it’s needed
Also wisdom and knowledge; she’s a natural leader
Trap Street trickery hidden in plain sight
Ashildr again takes up the twelfth Time Lord’s plight
Confessional dial banishes him far away
Where Zygons and Angels terrorise another day
Bill and Nardole then took up the task
Of being companions, the ultimate ask
A Time for Heroes, a time for you
A Time for revealing who’s the ultimate Who
Puddles with girls chasing Bill round the universe
Victorian monsters under frozen Thames, adverse
You gave it your all, a professor’s view
Whilst protecting The Vault from secrets anew
So farewell Doctor, we must say goodbye
It’s time for a new chameleon to fly
A dozen transformations have now set you free
But the Time Lord lives on, always saving the galaxy
