dynamite with a laser beam

I saw a dalek on my way to work this morning. It seemed very small but was definitely a dalek. It was moving along the street towards my local junior school. I blurted out what I had seen in panic to someone once I got to work and was informed, in a response that seemed to be completely unrelated and lacked an apparent grasp on the gravity of the situation, that it is World Book Day and lots of kids had fancy dress day at school.

But I digress.

Dalek haiku, you say?

Ignominious
end for one of such a race:
Algae on eyestalks.
