The Doctor's Companion Called Sarah Jane Smith

When Sarah joined the Doctor's team, She didn't have a clue That sometimes she would scream and scream, For what else could she do? She played the damsel in distress, Each time she went through Hell, Yet when she smiled, she came to bless My tender heart so well. The Doctor always did his all To bravely save the day, Yet her smile was the miracle That took my breath away. And even now, with decades gone, I saw her face once more, Her smile and beauty still live on To thrill me to the core… Denis Martindale, for the 30th of December 2023. Thanks to the BBC's video archives, we can see the Doctor Who episodes and the poem is based upon seeing beautiful pictures of Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.
