Clara Oswald Who
The Doctor's secret wife—who knew?
Returned from September's honeymoon
By way of last year's month of June

Poetry form: Clerihew

Sometimes described as the literate cousin of the Limerick, the Clerihew is composed of two rhyming couplets designed to lower the tone and cut everyone down to size, while still giving credit where credit is due. My clerihew poems are perfectly cooked in their own juices, resulting in Clerihew Aus Jus! Bon appétit!

I have time for a few questions:

Q- What took the Doctor and Clara so long to tie the knot?
A- They couldn’t decide on a date.

Q- What’s their favorite pastime?
A- Time travel

Q- When do they find the time to time travel?
A- It’s irrelevant.

Ok. I’m done now.

Thank you, Line! By the way, I’m Mark ;) Gershon introduced me to the Clerihew, so he did have something to do with it! ~Mark
