Poetry is a fairly common recurring element in Dr. Who. Oral history is hugely important--so much is handed down that way. Fairy tales, poems, songs are the ways that myths are handed down. And if good wizards always turn out to be the Doctor, myths always turn out to be true. And so these things are intensely important to the show.

Off the top of my head I know that there are two poems in "The Beast Below".
