O Captain! My Captain
An agent of Time
Set out on a mission,
That went all but fine.
Two years of memories
All down the drain
Two new friends left him
Near as soon as they came
After a battle between Dalek and man
This in a sense,
Was his last stand.
He came, he conquered
He fell, and rose
Abandoned by friends To fend for his own
Back in time he went,
And stuck once again,
Our Captain seemed doomed
To live on his own
The immortal was cocky,
Lived life to its best
Though after a few hundred years,
He'd soon beg for rest.
O Captain! My Captain!
What's brought you dread?
Is it the fact that you went
From human to a head?
He was merely a face.
The Face of Boe, he was called.
His long lived life,
Lived with flaw.
Alas, it seems,
All things come to an end.
And with the Time Lord and companion,
Our Captain was dead.
O Captain, my Captain!
Though plans were never followed through,
We all met you with one line:
"Captain Jack Harkness, and who are you?"
