Alice Through The Wormhole
Alice lay reflecting on the adventures she had
The characters she met there - good and bad
The lessons she learned in Wonderland,
The tea party that wasn't so grand...
Once again she began to ponder
What about life outside Earth and beyond her?
A sudden gust blasted open her door
And swept her away to the unknown once more!
And what would dear Alice this time face?
A journey up and away through outer space.
To her shock and dismay, no stars were close.
A vast dark void made her feel morose.
Although she felt this time would be wasted
She was about to face more than she anticipated!
She saw a faint ring and she felt a pull
Drawing her into the not so dull.
She whooshed through the wormhole with awe and surprise
The colours, the magic, filling her eyes!
Her frocks fabrics latched on to a box.
The speed through this hole stole her shoes and socks.
She zigged. She zagged. And she blacked out.
She felt hands hold her cheeks and she heard a shout.
"Are you okay? I'm The Doctor, and you?"
"Where am I Doctor? Doctor...Who?"
"Just the Doctor,' he answered with a Cheshire Cat grin,
'You got caught on my TARDIS so I let you in."
"My name is Alice. Are you related to Hatter?
Or the Knave of Hearts? Well, it doesn't matter."
"I've read about you!' He excitedly stated.
'This is amazing! And for you, I've waited."
"For me?' Alice asked. 'I don't understand..."
"Why Alice, you've been in Wonderland!
You're not afraid to ask questions, nor a stranger to change.
You've been out of your world in the realms of strange.
The TARDIS and I need a companion like you.
For you've no fear of the bizarre and new.
Join me now on a galactic quest.
Discover forms, explore planets you'll like the best.
The Daleks and Cybermens egos brood.
One of the friendliest kinds are the Ood.
I've travelled far, many eras away
From what once was my homeland - Gallifrey.
Oh yes young Alice, your mind will expand
With the universe in the reach of your hand!
When the time is right, then back you'll go
To your part of Earth that you think you know."
