What Rhymes With Dalek?

A Doctor Who Drabble

By Gale Force

"What rhymes with Dalek?"

"Pardon?"

"In all my lives I have never written a poem. Until today."

"About the Daleks?"

"About them all! Daleks. Ice Warriors. What rhymes with Ice Warrior?"

"Um..."

"I want to immortalize all the lifeforms I've encountered, but they all have such inconvenient names."

"You're going about this all wrong, Doctor. You don't have to find a rhyme for Dalek. Or Auton, Jagaroth or Cybermen."

"No?"

"You put the hard words in the middle and rhyme the ends.

The Daleks look like pepper pots

Line them up to take your shots."

"Crude, but I get the idea."
