The Mothership The Caretaker poem by Matt Rabjohns


Meet my selfless time lady with two hearts​
The place where the true adventure starts​
Hurtling right through all of space and time​
Such a roller coaster thrill ride to me you and mine​
A pretty rainbow right across her T-shirt​
How she tries to keep friends from being hurt​
But it is such a dark and broken universe​
So sometimes living feels like a curse​
Things like the Daleks and the cybermen​
Rearing their ugly mutated heads yet again​
To smite the vortex with grief and pain​
Till our sweet hero takes a stand again​
Her hearts beat with a clear and clean vision​
Saving the helpless from evil is her mission​
And she won’t ask the high up's permission​
Before she puts the wicked plans to nuclear fission​
Then she will go back to her big blue box​
Even after every time her spirit takes a knock​
Then it’s off to the next wounded planet​
Yes, every psychotic deviant, you just can it​
You may think you are winning for a while​
But by the climax you won’t own a smile​
Because your schemes will quickly fall to dust​
All in the name of the Good Doctor we trust​
The care taker of the whole of existence​
The one lady who will truly go the distance​
To uplift the oppressed and broken and overtaken​
Her hearts full of compassion that is never shaken​
And if she takes a kind shine to you​
Will you go with her, what will you do? ​
Will you go for the adventure of your life​?
I think this time lady is well worth all the strife​

The Mothership Our Mrs Whittaker by Matt Rabjohns



Jodie, you make me smile every single day
When I give my Doctor Who DVDs a play
I can't thank you enough for the immense joy
You have bought to this mad keen fan boy

Jodie you make me wanna jump with delight
Your performance is enough to light up the night
I can't thank you enough for the hope
You've given me in my own personal pain to help me cope

You're a tonic, you're a breeze
Just like a friend who brings me to my knees
You're a friend, even if we've not met
If not down here then we'll have heaven yet

How you have made me forget my woe
One day I hope to be able to show
And to meet you and let you know
How much happiness and tears have been on the flow?

Since the first time you fell through that train's roof
Just to hit me with the truth
That you are perfect for the role of the Doc
And I know I'm not the only one in this flock

Jodie you make me feel good with that smile
I can even raise my own for a little while
Watching you brandish your sonic with a flourish
Is just so fulfilling and lovely and moreish

Jodie, you make me want to punch the air
You are a time lady and you truly care
I’ve heard it from fans who’ve met you out there
That would be a dream for me, oh, what a vision to share

You're a talent, you're a blast
Even when lying hates have their shadow to cast
We know with fans like us it won't last
We sail the good ship Whittaker and we raise the mast

How you fight the monsters and the evil
Takes away the very edge of my own upheaval
Makes me think there is some good to life
The man who’s your husband has such a treasure of a wife

The Mothership Forgive Me by Matt Rabjohns




Forgive me for being such a dumb short sighted bloke​
I wasn't sure a woman could take hold of the rope​
Of a show long led by thirteen rather splendid blokes​
Now I know better and my silly bit of mindlessness chokes​
And I am glad that I’ve been proven a right prat​
Now that Jodie is our awesome Doctor and that is that​
She has just blown the show right out of the water​
And I'm glad to lay my stupid preconceptions to slaughter​
All you great girls out in the world who must love this​
Would you please forgive me, no, no need for a kiss
But I feel truly bad for being quite so stupidly un-enlighted​
I can’t imagine how my views could have been so small and benighted​
Now I am keen as mustard only to come along for the ride​
And now one truth I really don't want to ever hide​
Now I’ve gone from being iffy to be rock sure of this time lady​
And now my elation and gratitude are beyond just steady​
I would just love to be the one to travel with this being​
Where I could help save history and never believe what I'm seeing​
Aiding the whole universe to keep evil and wrong at bay​
That's why for years and years I now hope Jodie will stay​
I will never again remain so blinkered and short sighted​
Not now that Jodie has me so excited and delighted​
I will now state I’ve never been gladder to be proven wrong​
A lady can be the Doctor, it was so obvious all along​

The Mothership The Pain of a Time Lady by Matt Rabjohns




A tussle with the Master, her former friend​
And I think she now wants the horror to end​
She sets her sights on finding him again​
She must somehow feel she's to blame​
Then her eyes befall a broken, desolate plain​
And the haunted pain comes back again​
A home she thought safe now lost once more​
She feels the crush of the burden and sinks to the floor​
Her Gallifrey in ruins, her hearts in tatters​
She's maybe struggling to know what truly matters​
She rages inside, with sorrow and torture and regret​
Perhaps this is one pain she'd like to forget​
Our ageless wonderful hero, now sadly finding out​
Her past may be false or restrained, plagued with doubt​
She feels so sad, lost, broken and lonely​
Her friends alone now make the TARDIS homely​
For she admits, her true soul they hardly know​
Then they strike back with the wonderful glow​
They have seen enough to know she deeply cares​
About the wild and troubled universe out there​
They see her great merit; they feel her great woe​
They will still give her the true incentive to go​
Back out and do good in that big old universe​
Even if at times that action feels more like a curse​
They just won't let her ever forsake her calling​
That she is the Good Doctor, despite tears falling​
They will stand with her as her dependable friends​
Even if it is to be that death comes as the end


The Mothership The Woman Who Fell to Earth by Matt Rabjohns



And so, Ryan Sinclair tries hard to learn to ride a bike​
Then discovers a blue tear drop in the wood, of unknown origin​
As a train crashes, with his Nan and Graham aboard, a sudden spike​
And a strange alien woman then drops through the roof's skin​
This is an alien who is confused yet energetic and spry​
Finger up her nose before she sleeps for a while​
Till the teardrop cracks open, she awakes with a cry​
And then gives all her new found friends a sunshine smile​
And then emerges from the blue tear an enemy so vile​
A foe who steals his victim’s teeth to wear on his face​
And to allow this evil to run free is not our ladies style​
So, she will attempt to do her best to put him in his place​
By all their collar bones bombs coded to their DNA​
And so, this lady knows she has to face this menace​
But she'll need a sonic screwdriver, making her own'll be the way​
With spoons and Sheffield steel and a blow torches' mini furnace​
Who would have guessed it would end with a metal crane​
Where the confusion at last lifts from this lady’s thoughts to find​
After she has jumped from one crane to another to reclaim​
The trophy human back from this villain so dark and unkind​
That Tzim Sha is arrogant, he thinks the murders he's committed are but a game​
But the lady before him, a dash of outrage clearing her mind​
Now has her recall just exactly who she is, the Doctor is her name​
And to the repulsive Tzim Sha she is still willing and kind​
To offer a better way to live than leaving human trophies to rot​
He does not take it, but he doesn’t realise her plan​
She's been clever removing the bombs and now he has got​
Then all back in himself so he is a rather desperate alien man​
His face quickly starts to melt, now the only chance he's got​
Is to escape back home and be glad her mercy isn’t a fake​
She is for but a second glad she has saved Earth's lot​
But then comes a scenario which has her hearts shake​
In the unbearable touch of horror as Ryan's Nan sadly has to die​
Trying to rid our world of the alien threat halfway up the tower​
Sparks fizz, she falls, and of course her husband and Grandson are broken and cry​
Graham them states he once had cancer, so he should be gone instead in this bleak hour​
Yet the friends are all strong, and the Doctor feels it’s time to go​
But she's lost her ship so she will need her companions to assist​
But I'm not sure that materialising in space was a part of her show​
Let’s hope she and her friends are rescued before lack of breath has them kissed!
