Over on a fanfic mailing list I frequent, someone offered a challenge -
someone from the story comes across a "pod" on the beach. I'm pretty
sure what he had in mind was an escape pod, but here's what came to MY
mind...
The Box
Lyrics: Kay Shapero
Tune: "The Thing" by Charles Randolph Grean
Oh I was running down the beach as fast as fast could be,
With half a dozen Death Eaters all chasing after me.
Dodging rocks and inbound spells I fled across a rise,
And there I was with a Big Blue Box right before my eyes!
Yes there I was with a Big Blue Box right before my eyes!
It had a sign upon the door I didn't stop to read,
Just dove right in it figuring to apparate with speed.
I tripped on something, dropped my wand, and then, to my surprise,
The Big Blue Box made a roaring sound and took off for the skies!
Yes the Big Blue Box made a roaring sound and took off for the skies!
That Big Blue Box was bigger inside, though that was nothing new.
But I had never dreamed of all the ways that that thing flew.
It took me off to distant worlds and back to Ancient Rome.
No end to the places the Big Blue Box would take me except home.
No end to the places the Big Blue Box would take me except home.
Oh I've not given up just yet, but meanwhile this is fine;
Adventuring with comrades I pick up from time to time.
I'm never quite sure where I am, but there's one thing I know.
I'll always get through with my Big Blue Box no matter where we go.
With my "sonic screwdriver"* and Big Blue Box, no matter where we go!
*mime quotes with fingers.

And maybe if you had read the sign "Police Box" would have been
