The Man Time Forgot

Jack be nimble and Jack be fast,
Out run the reaper when he comes at last.
Turn your tail and bolt away,
Too much to do to die today.
A is for arsenic, slipped in your drink,
'Tastes sort of strange', the last thing you think.
B is the blade slicing through skin,
Stabbing and stabbing, again and again.
C is the crushing weight of Cement,
Poured without mercy, and dried where it went.
D, E and F, initials were wrote,
On the arm of the man, whose hands seized your throat.
G is the Guillotine, they thought would end Jack,
"Off With His Head!", but then he grew back.
H is the Heat from the fires did gleam,
And he rose from the ashes, with an unholy scream.
I is for Ianto, and the best way to die,
Whisper 'I love you', and try not to cry.
J is for jumping and K is Kersplat,
L is the Landing, that made Jack go flat.
M is the Mallet crushing his skull,
N is the Nautilus, tied to it's hull.
O is the Ocean whose depths he was set,
Until a poor fisherman, caught him up in his net.
P is the Plea for mercy he sought,
But mercy ignored, The Man Time Had Forgot.
Q is the Quick-silver filling his veins,
To chase out the demon, until nothing remains.
R is the many different Rounds in his chest,
From the firing squad, that they said was the best.
S is Slavine whose match they had met,
and T is for Torchwood, that had not killed him yet.
U is the Undertaker, in shock, could just stare,
As he sat from the table with a gasp of fresh air.
W for questions, When and Why,
"Why, Doctor, can't I seem to die?"
He will keep trying through X, Y, and Zed,
But Jack is too needed, to be Jack who is dead.
So turn your tail and bolt away,
Too much to do to die today.
Out run the reaper when he comes at last,
Jack be nimble, Jack be fast.
