Princess Celestia goes to buy a pet,
But the store upon which she is set,
Contains somepony trying, and yet,
A pet is still the thing she will get!

Inspired by Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss.

Written for the Feghoot Festival

Good day, my dear sir, I am on errand
I'm seeking a pet for my parent.
Something small, maybe a ferret,
Actually, come to think of it,
Do you have a parrot?

At first I thought this poem's rhymes were strained
And syllables per line too unconstrained.
The setup droll, that's undeniable
But season timeline seemed too pliable.

And then we got the rattle battle prattle
And on my face a thin grin turning broad,
Then smack! A feghoot clean between the eyes!
I stared, I read again, and then guffawed.

Superbly done, sir Graves, and all the best:
This entry stands apart from all the rest.

It's comments like these that make my day,
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Inconsistencies? Droll? I suppose, only fair.
I'm sure we agree, hooters are best in a pair.
And for the contest? Thanks. There's certainly no contest,
That flooding FimFiction with Peg-Hoots is the best.

this really needs to be illustrated by the crew that Ilistrate doctor Seuss books.
