Ode to Rory

Smart Rory, funny Rory, gorgeous Rory

Not one to shy away from the grotesque or the gory

A people person, a competent nurse

Who fell victim to a cracky curse

Killed twice and then eaten by time

The first was a dream, the second was not

He sacrificed himself in a way sublime

But time ate his body, it nommed the lot

Watch in horror was all the Doctor could do

And poor Amy was forced to watch too

And at a certain realisation, the horror grew

It was not just that Rory's existence was through

Much worse, erased from time, Rory's existence never began

So it up to us to remember him, as only we can
