Poetry Is Magic

Viva Las Pegasus

Las Pegasus, the city full of chances
Gambles, fame, riches, some have advances
You have gangsters, and other violent groups
That'll have your hoof, if they lose in the success troop

But anyway, I came to see an old friend I known since childhood
And she's popular in my old hood
We met in the first grade
Y'all might know her as Songbird Serenade

That's her true name, along with Rara and Sapphire Shores
All 3 sing like a heavenly choir singing a angelic chorus
Sapphire Shores and Coloratura are my friends too
But I met them before I met Applejack, true

Moving on, Songbird invited me to her concert
and a free backstage pass, it was a great worth
Security guards knew me and welcomed me like a king
That came to see a great friend of mine to sing

One of the guards led me backstage
Hearing fan colts and stallions jealous rage
Then I saw the singing mare in her room, dancing on the rug
She ran towards me with great speed, and gave me a tackle hug

Hidden behind her two-tone bangs, were her beautiful blue eyes
And her genuine smile, every time I see her, was not a disguise
She closed the door, as I thanked her for inviting me
In her own words, "Besides other ponies and creatures, you're another friendliest face I see"

We talked about the good ol' days, like the schools in Manehattan
Her charity concerts, my poetry sessions, everything good that happened
Every album she made, she thanked me for the inspiration
I told her, "And now you're inspiring everyone in every nation"

Songbird is one of the favorites in Equestria
Especially from former Princess Celestia
Her song "Rainbows" was the biggest seller
But there are more songs that are amazing story tellers

We talked for about two to three hours
But I had to get her dressing room, so she can bring up her performing power
I was about to leave, as the guard told me
"You can come back and watch her do her thing, you see"

So I walked around Las Pegasus for about thirty
Then I saw two things that are dirty
The two ponies I saw made me think "damn"
The two sales stallions, Flim and Flam

They scammed me in Ponyville
With a cart with no brakes, that almost killed me down the hill
Speaking of kill, that's what I fell like doing to them
But their lives were already grim

As Starswirl the Bearded gave them both indefinite probation
Working at the Las Pegasus Train Station
As Flim sweeps, and Flam cleans
Five officers gave them heavy surveillance, by any means

Gladmane on the other hoof was doing maintenance
At a casino, fixing slot machines, to improve his advance
He doesn't get paid at a rich high
So all he does is complain and cry

That aside, I did eat me some lunch
The new pastry recipe from Pinkie and Sugar Belle has successfully spread a bunch
After I'm done, I head towards the MGM Grand
Where Songbird sings along with her band

I snuck backstage, even though I should've teleported
One of the security guards had me gratefully escorted
I see the band getting ready to play
For the star that every pony and creature's been waiting for all day

Songbird Serenade, her voice very angelic
Her energy, like her dancers and fans, very energenic
Then, she invited me on stage to dance
I danced a step or two, with the crown and others advance

As the song ends, she said to the crowd
"Peace Poet, everypony!" and cheered out loud
I waved at the crowd, and said my thank you's
While other jealous stallions glare at me, and having violent view

As I went backstage, two stallions come at me with anger
Then one of the guards held one of them back like the Lone Ranger
The other came at me, but with my martial art skills
I knocked him out, while he lost some teeth from his grille

Both stallions are taken by the police
About an hour later, after the concert came to a cease
The guards asked was I alright
I told that I wasn't even breaking a sweat in that so-called fight

Songbird came and hugged me with great worry
She was panting, not just from performing, but with a rushing hurry
Asked me and the guard were we OK
He and both said, "Best thing we did all day"

After that, we all had a concert after party
Everypony in it sipping on Hennessy and Bacardi
Since I don't drink, I kept myself safe
But Songbird sat beside me with great faith

She told me, as she moved her bangs from her eyes
As the sparkle greatly like Luna's night skies
"Thank you for coming to see me sing"
Like I miss my friend doing her amazing thing

It was getting late, I had to go back to the hotel
Songbird kissed me on the cheek, like it was an angels love spell
I kissed her cheek back, and then said good night
Lit up my horn, since it's my only light

Got back in my hotel room, collapsed on my bed
Feeling the softest pillows behind my head
Thinking about the night I had tonight
Songbird's presence was definitely heavenly bright

She does have a husband and daughter
Husband Street Light, and daughter Glistening Water
Later on, I'll get to see them again soon
From my sleep, to the morning, and see them at noon

Where were they from the concert, you asked
Beside me backstage, dancing around, and having a blast
As for the stallions that rushed to get me
They doing community service for breaking probation, you see

I spent a couple of days in the gambling, entertaining town
I enjoyed it, and did not have a frown
Whatever happens in Las Pegasus. stays in Las Pegasus
In the King of Rock 'N Roll's chorus, "Viva, Viva Las Pegasus.
