Farewell MR. Ainley(Randy Johnson) (Three poems dedicated to Anthony Ainley, who died on May 3, 2004. He and I had something in common. We were both born on August 20.)



Anthony Ainley was a British actor who starred in Doctor Who.
He starred as Master number two.
He starred in ten episodes from 1981 to 1989.
He was a favorite actor of mine.

He had black hair and a goatee.
He played as an evil character but that was only on TV.
Ainley brought magic to the screen.
He dressed in black and he really did look mean.

Some people prefer Delgado because he was debonaire.
But Ainley gave the audience a bigger scare.
Great entertainment was what he supplied.
We lost a great artist when he died.

His character brought death and disaster.
Ainley was perfect for the part of the Master.
He was a talented person and it's a crime for him to have to leave.
Now that he's gone, we Doctor Who fans will grieve.



A 2nd poem about Anthony Ainley

Anthony Ainley starred as DS Hunter on 'It's cold outside'.
During his seventy-one year life, he never took a bride.
He died in 2004 and he was born in 1932.
He was a wonderful asset to Doctor Who.
He starred as a Hong Kong Policeman in 'You only live twice'.
He was a friendly entertainer and that was nice.
He was in the 1975 film, 'The land that time forgot'.
All of his friends and fans loved him a lot.
He also starred in 'Oh! what a lovely war'.
It's very sad that he's not alive anymore.



A final poem about Anthony Ainley

You died ten years ago today at the age of 71.
Watching you star as the Master sure was fun.
When you died, your friends, family and fans endured a lot of pain.
You're dead but when people watch you in reruns, you still entertain.

It was sad when you died ten years ago.
If you had lived longer, you could've starred in the new Doctor Who show.
You and I shared the same birthday.
It was tragic when you passed away.
