Derpy watches as the diarchs debate the rights and obligations of those in power.
Derpy Hooves Wake is a play on James Joyce’s last novel Finnegans Wake and on Ezra Pound’s The Cantos, albeit much shorter. While not intended to be an exact parody of either work, this story explores their styles, themes, and techniques.
This is a short work for its own sake: pretentious, and very experimental.

Also, please comment. I know a lot of readers are turned off by over-the-top, avant garde style writing—and I am okay with that—just let me know what you think.
Merci,

If by "some old play" you mean a novel considered one of the greatest literary works in the English language, then I suppose it qualifies.
"What people want" is somewhat beside the point; it is an experimental work largely for its own sake.
This gets an upvote for sheer ambition/brass neck (delete according to taste). I was actually having a conversation with someone the other day in which we laughed at the idea of a ponified Finnegans Wake. And then I found this. I did read it, but I can't say I understood a great deal of it – but then that goes for the original novel, too.
I can't say I exactly enjoyed reading this, and I doubt I'll follow it further if it's updated, but I'm nevertheless very glad to know that it exists. It makes me wonder, yet again, if there's anything that hasn't, in some form or another, been ponified.
