A/N: All quotes borrowed randomly and variously from the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth and tenth doctors, who are all (unfortunately) property of the BBC (until the TARDIS shows up again, at least). The actual poem itself is a traditional rhyme and therefore belongs to the people. -Laughs- Come on, it had to be done...you get a cyber cookie if you can ID all the quotes.
Magpies
Ten little magpies in a tree
Count and see Who they may be...
One for sorrow
("Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the Fourth Dimension? Have you? To be exiles? Susan and I are cut off from our own planet - without friends or protection.")
Two for mirth
("All right! I confess, I confess. I confess to your being a bigger idiot than I thought." )
Three for a death
("Killing me isn't going to help you. It isn't going to do me much good either..." )
Four for a birth
("That's the trouble with regeneration. You never know what you're going to get." )
Five for silver
("Answers are easy. It's asking the right questions which is hard.")
Six for gold
("Well, to be fair I had a couple of gadgets he probably didn't, such as a teaspoon and an open mind.")
Seven for a secret, never to be told
("It doesn't matter! All right? All that counts is here and now! And this is ME!")
Eight for a wish
("Ace, hand me some of that Nitro-9 you're not carrying.")
Nine for a kiss -
("I think you need a doctor.")
- and Ten for a bird you cannot miss.
("Trouble's just the bits in between! It's all waiting out there, Jackie. And it's all brand new to me. All those planets, creatures, and horizons...I haven't seen them yet. Not with these eyes. And it is going to be...fantastic!" )
A/N: Sing to the chorus, you should know what to do
Review, review, review!
