Late to the party. · 1:49pm May 25th, 2018
So, a couple of months ago, I heard for the first time the lyrics to Canterlot Camelot:
It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear
The climate must be perfect all the year
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are
The rain may never fall till after sundown
By eight, the morning fog must disappear
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering
Than here in Camelot
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws
I can't help but feel that if this had been disseminated a few years ago, it would have changed the entire paradigm of a lot of those early stories; instead of stories of how the environment now needed micromanaging, we'd have more stories about bureaucratic weather requirements. Heck, maybe the weather patrol actually has law-enforcement powers!
It's strange to me to think that there's a whole sub-genre of stories that never happened.
Considering the wonderbolts are part of the military...
Perhaps weather ponies are like traffic officers.
