Twas the night before Christmas

And the TARDIS was hence

The Doctor was resting

After a battle with the Silence

Sonic screwdrivers were lined neatly in a row

The Doctor dreamt of his companions

And a blonde girl named Rose

Thought of past lives danced through his head

9, 7, 11, and 8

About the Daleks whom he really did hate

Then all of a sudden there rose such a clatter

A timing malfunction was the cause of this matter

The Doctor rose out of bed

And pulled his jacket

A timing malfunction

Was the cause of this racket

He approached the console

Hoping to stop the noise

Fixing the TARDIS

Was one of his joys

The cloister bell stopped ringing

With a turn and a pull

The Doctor exclaimed triumphantly

"Bow ties are cool"

Suddenly, the door burst open

Giving the Doctor a scare

There stood a woman

With wild, wild hair

She walked towards him

With a sway of her hips

She sauntered and sashayed

A smile on her lips

"Hello, Sweetie." she said

Eyes so full of life

This woman was his

His partner, his wife

She handed him a box that was long and narrow

"What have you gotten me, my dear River Song?"

"Spoilers" she said not willing to share

He opened it apprehensively

Thinking it better not be pears

Inside the box was a shiny new watch

Intricately detailed

It was really top notch

He noticed the inscription

In old high Gallifrey

He was so shocked

He didn't know what to say

Bless his hearts

He was speechless

River was absolutely floored

"Have a Happy Christmas, my one and only Time Lord"
