This was originally written way back in the period between Matt regenerating and the new episodes where we got a real look at Capaldi as Twelve, the first regeneration I went through "live." It applies now, especially with so many people both inside and outside the fandom losing their minds over the next Doctor being female, for various reasons; I have been looking for this thing in all of my notebooks for months and naturally it was in the only one I didn't think to check.
Ignore the oOo in between each stanza; I couldn't get to format a blank line between them (any hints, I would appreciate it). I like to imagine it as the TARDIS sound . . .
Anyway, enjoy. If anyone wants to discuss Thirteen or geek out in anticipation of the Christmas Special, I am always down for that.

Always the Same
The Doctor's changing once again,
Face and brain and clothing, too.
It doesn't really matter
'Cause the TARDIS is still blue.
oOo
Different casing, same hardware—
There are some things that aren't new:
The Doctor is still running
And the TARDIS is still blue.
oOo
Sometimes "he" and sometimes "she,"
Sometimes grey, but others too.
The Doctor is still running
And the TARDIS is still blue.
oOo
Same old smile in a different face,
Same sad old eyes shine through—
The TARDIS is still running
And the Doctor is still blue.
oOo
The Doctor and the TARDIS,
Time and space they're crashing through—
They'll always be still running,
Always doing what they do.
oOo
Time will still keep ticking on,
The universe keep going,
'Cause a Time Lord and a box
Are still blue and still running.
oOo
Still the two biggest hearts, and
Maybe the biggest brain, too.
Best ship in the universe,
And always the bluest blue.
oOo
'Cause, you know, the more things change
The more they never really do:
The Doctor is still running
And the TARDIS is still blue.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to one and all!
Have a brilliant day!
