Red TARDIS




Back in the Mid-90s,
at a time when 
Doctor Who on Television 
DID NOT Exist,
some fans somehow
managed to get published  
a Non-Fiction reference book 
entitled :
‘The Completely Useless Encyclopdia’

It was a Doctor Who application of The Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce —
(or, The Book of Lies by Crowley)

And under the entry for
‘Multi-Coloured Scarf’, 
it read, 
(and I quoting here precisely and purely From Memory) :

“Often worn by anorak-wearing Completists  who get The Colours all Wrong.”

Now, I showed that entry 
to a classmate of mine 
when we were both 
sitting in School,
whilst wearing
My Multi-Coloured Scarf.

And he looked me right in The Eye,
I Swear To God,
and he said :
“Are Those The Right Colours?”

And I replied,
My Gran knitted it for me.”
