Farewell Mr. Ainley

(Dedicated to Anthony Ainley who died May 3, 2004. He and I had something in 
common. We were both born on August 20.)

Anthony Ainley was a british actor who starred in Doctor Who.
He starred as Master number two.
He starred in ten episodes from 1981 to 1989.
He was a favorite actor of mine.

He had black hair and a goatee.
He played as an evil character but that was only on TV.
Ainley brought magic to the screen.
He dressed in black and he really did look mean.

Some people prefer Delgado because he was debonaire.
But Ainley gave the audience a bigger scare.
Great entertainment was what he supplied.
We lost a great artist when he died.

His character brought death and disaster.
Ainley was perfect for the part of the Master.
He was a talented person and it's a crime for him to have to leave.
Now that he's gone, we Doctor Who fans will grieve.
