A Stupid Kid’s Show On Tv
By Dougtheloremaster
It all started years ago,
As before me,
Appeared on my television,
A stupid kid’s show on TV.
Why would I ever watch,
Something for kiddies?
These were my thoughts,
As I turned off the TV.
I was awkward,
antisocial,
and I was nerdy too.
Back then I was 23,
A raid-god in MMOs.
Yet sadly,
In conversations I was just a dope.
My world was grey,
My life was hell,
I simply gave up hope.
Nothing was interesting,
Nothing excited me.
However, I grew curious
And so I sat back down,
To watch,
A stupid kid’s show,
on TV.
A purple unicorn,
Is what my eyes beheld,
Giving exposition,
About the ending of the world.
An evil monster,
Wanted to,
Takeover.
A plot I’ve seen a zillion times,
And another hundred times moreover.
Yet,
There was a strangeness,
About it I couldn’t deny,
That purple unicorn,
Named Twilight,
Discovered Pinkie Pie.
The over the top party pony,
Was quirky as could be.
It was then my interest grew;
Her antics resembled me.
That oddball thinking,
And impromptu comedy,
I couldn’t stop it not at all,
I smiled for Pinkie.
In the sky there was a cloud,
And upon it lay,
The weather pony Rainbow Dash,
Sunbathing there she lay.
Lazy as all could be,
She wouldn’t do her job.
Though told how it would affect others,
The sky was cleared and in ten seconds flat”
Made Twilight’s jaw drop.
It truly hit me close to home;
I’m quite the lazy guy,
I procrastinate quite frequently,
Sometimes I’m a slob
But when the chips are down,
I will immediately finish the job.
It never takes me all that long,
When I actually try,
So that rainbow-maned cyan pegasus,
From me,
Recieved a salute to the sky.
Twilight then led the way,
To a strange boutique,
And there I was introduced,
To dainty Rarity.
A deceptively prissy pony,
Designing fashion true,
I thought okay no way,
That I would relate to this pony too.
But then I noticed her strange demeanor,
A drama queen at times,
Yet,
Would sacrifice all she had,
To bring another joy.
Generosity was what she was imbued,
And Lord knows,
I’ve sacrificed my own time,
and even health,
To help all those I knew.
Alright I thought,
I’m invested now,
But surely there’s no way,
That I could possibly,
To another character relate.
And then all of a sudden,
What did I then see?
But Applejack the farmer;
That orange Earthpony struck a chord with me.
Honesty, is what I pride myself,
On speaking each day,
You see.
Surely though this is the end,
Of characters,
That I,
A 23-year old man,
Could see myself in.
No once again I was wrong,
For there with my eyes,
I beheld, the gentle,
Kindness queen,
The aptly named Fluttershy.
She was such an introvert,
A fraidy cat, it’s true.
But then presented with a baby dragon,
An extrovert did bloom.
I truly was in shock;
I related to her too!
Present me with a gemstone,
Try to shut me up,
I dare you.
I however,
Am quite shy,
And terrified you see.
Of what others,
May think of me.
That yellow pegasus,
Was just so spot on,
Though this had to be me projecting,
Not the show’s intention.
I sat there,
And was entranced.
I binge watched it all.
It gave me hope,
Even with none at all.
I met others,
With a heart akin to mine.
I talk to some to this day,
We do things all the time.
As I watched the episodes,
My world began to change.
No longer shades of gray,
Color was the name of the game.
I sit here 30 years of age,
Typing fanfictions still,
I didn’t understand why I loved it,
I probably never will.
Now on season 9,
And still upon the ride,
My walls are gone,
I’m happy now,
A Brony till I die.
The show it may be ending soon,
But the morals it gave me,
I pass on to all I meet,
People smile back at me.
Who knew it would come this far,
Or what to me it would mean,
But I thank God, Faust and Celestia,
For that stupid kids show on tv.
