First Stop: Canterlot (The Stroll)
Canterlot, the city with many ponies that are rich entrepreneurs
Some look at me like I came from the sewers
But there are ponies that I like to see
Donut Joe, Saffron Masala, Fancy Pants, and Fleur de Lis
Along with Rarity, with her Canterlot Boutique, and then some
Sassy Saddles, Photo Finish, and more made me feel more welcomed
Except for a few, including a certain prince
Which I haven't seen in a while since
Anyways, I stopped by to take a little stroll
Later on, I'll stop by the Tasty Treat for a bowl
Then Donut Joe's shop to talk about good times
Whatever story he tells, I'll put then in my rhymes
Then I'll get a few clothes from Rarity's boutique
She and Sassy finds me good wear that is unique
A tux, a dress shirt, even a business suit
Add a fedora, and I'll have that "cool pony" look
Many mares and stallions of high stature
Look at me like I have a bone fracture
Many judge me because of where I'm from
Calling me the "Manehattan Street Rat", and then some
Yeah, I came from the Southside
But I don't judge them, and I have nothing to hide
I found a new way to judge without judging
I'm a friend of Rarity and others, so I'm not budging
I hear some "hay-rumphs" here and there
As long as they stay out of my way, I don't care
Ponies like them always judge a book by the cover
Trying to find ways to make me suffer
Well, back on the strolling topic
And back on the Canterlot logic
Rarity said that I didn't need to pay
But I didn't want to take advantage of her Generosity that way
I paid with bits, a hug, respect, and friendship
As she gave me a kiss on the cheek, and I'll admit
She's an angel, like Spike said
And Rarity's more than I ever read
I finally got to my favorite eating places
And I got full quick in both spaces
I continued my stroll to walk the weight off
But suddenly, I heard a bad cough
I see a unicorn filly looking very sick
I rush to her with my best quick
I asked her, "where are your folks?"
She said, " They're at home, sick like me, and broke"
I gave her as much bits to give her
Then I gave her some of my medicine for her folks and her
I'm surprised that nopony helped her at all
I'd be peeved if they let her beg and crawl
So I took her to the clinic, for a doctor to check her up
She was nice like a cute little pup
I asked the doc how much, and he said, "no charge
You're one great citizen with a heart so large"
Before I left, I went to check on the filly
And I put the blanket on her, 'cause it was a bit chilly
I guess I became her hero and such
What she said warmed my heart, "thank you very much"
The Doc got his assistant to go get her folks
I waited for an hour, and saw them, as they spoke
"We don't have much, but we'll get what we can"
I told them that I'll pay, and I understand
They told me that they use to work at the clinic back then
But the boss that fired them needs a hoof to the chin
The Doc told me that the clinic's under new management
And they got re-hired in the health establishment
They both hugged me for being their savior
This'll teach the former manager for his sour behavior
Both parents went to their daughter, after I said goodbye
I sniffed a little, as I try not to cry
Back on the stroll, I get near the Canterlot Castle
And since I know most of the Royal Guards there, going inside was no hassle
Celestia and Luna where about to leave to Silver Shoals
Which is their retirement resting goal
I need to get there before they leave for their destination
Before they get to their permanent location
I also see Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, and Princess Cadence
As I see other ponies doing more castle maintenance
I say hello to each off my closest friends
As my stroll in Canterlot is at an end
We talked about the adventures in Equestria and more
But I told them that I'm on a freelance poetry tour
And I told them that I'm traveling all over Equestria
This gain an interest from them, more from Celestia
I told them that I'll be gone for months or a year
But I'm going with some bravery and fear
But to be clear, it'll be like an adventure
I can have fun, better than an energy taking centaur
Sure, I'm on the poetry trip on my own
As long as the haters don't get in my zone
My rhymes can be fictional, fun, or serious
But I made a rich pony's wife look very delirious
She knows how to make any pony upset
But too bad her new job isn't important yet
As Celestia and Luna gave me more stuff
Even a magic message book, in case things get too rough
I'm tough, but I have to be very careful
Be calm, be truthful, and the hardest, respectful
After I said my goodbyes, I go on the the next train
I have everything I need to stay sane and maintain
What's my next stop, land, sea, or the sky high
Good thing Twilight and Starlight taught me a spell to fly
Five o'clock, the sun was going down
Meaning Twilight's got it right, now that she's the new ruler in town
The next place, I got to the airport first
I'm flying overseas, former Dragon Lord Torch is doing the sky work
Spike even told me that Torch is almost as fast as Dash
His scales can even take the lightning strike, no wonder he never crashed
Onward to the far east
Will I meet friends or foes that are beast?
