Doctor Who: Now We Are Six Hundred: A Collection of Time Lord Verse

With illustrations by Russell T Davies, original showrunner of the new-era Doctor Who, the first ever Doctor Who poetry collectiona charming, funny and whimsical illustrated collection of verse that celebrates the joys and pitfalls of getting older . . . Time-Lord older.Like many of us, the older they get, the more Time Lords realize how little they understand the universe around them.

This delightful collection of poemsthe first volume of Doctor Who verse publishedoffers moments of insight, wit, and reassurance for the maturing inhabitants of Gallifrey (and everywhere else), including such delights as:THE ENDWhen I was OneI was not much funWhen I was TwoI was barely throughWhen I was ThreeI liked strong teaWhen I was FourI hated a boreWhen I was FiveI was really aliveWhen I was SixI somehow could never quite fit in to what was expected of me, well, not exactly but that was because things werent neat and there are no easy rhymes in the universe and scansion, my dear Peri, is a thing thats really overrated and you only have to look at a sunset to realise that creation itself is a poem and oh no wait, got it, of course, Fix!

The line needed to end with Fix! (Or tricks. Thats works too.)When I was SevenI sent the gods to HeavenWhen I was EightKissing was greatWhen I was NineI had forgotten timeWhen I was TenI began againWhen I was ElevenI totally got evenWhen I was Twelve, I became as clever as cleverAnd now I think Ill be Twelve for ever and ever*(*Unless, of course, there is a terrible catastrophe involving explosions, radiation, or heights. And then I guess well find out what comes next. But the eyebrows wont be as good.)
