//------------------------------// // Dead Poet's Society // Story: Different Strokes // by Guy_Incognito //------------------------------// Dead Poet's Society. Ode to a Silly Farm Pony. He carries himself on pride filled hooves The way any good farmhoof would, He’s tough, although inherently nice: Like, a cat who is afraid of mice. He smells not like lavender, nor thyme And it’s really hard to find words which rhyme, With the smell of my silly farm pony Which is of.....morning mist? -Stormy. P.S. Buck it, I tried.... Stormy Weather. Like the weather he’s named after, He’s careless, reckless, though wrapped in laughter He’s the single best part of a day, to a pony who recently realized he’s gay For the cutest colt this side of Baltimare And I’m glad it’s with him, my bed I share. -Gentle Strokes. P.S. That's how poetry is properly done, Stormy. P.P.S. How is this your major? Humbled Rebuttal. Thanks again for showing me, What it means to really be embarrassed and humbled by An admittedly very handsome guy Cheesy doesn’t even begin to Describe these poems I write to you Seriously, If Jag ever got hooves on this The school would forever be in fits of manic laughter, taunts and jabs Till I hid away like a hermit crab ….and took you with me. --Stormy P.S. I know it doesn't rhyme at the end, but sue me. Just call it 'Post Modern.'. Every Morning. I watch him turn, I watch him toss A dreary dreamscape he cannot cross His face is pained and filled with woe Stormy, what troubles you so? He says he’s fine, though soft and defeated My wish was it were an ail that could be treated There’s a stack of letters that go unread From a father who gives him dread Poor, poor, Stormy is this your trouble? Can’t I make it never double? -Gentle Strokes. Family Matters. My father’s rich, you see and my brother successful Which to a pony like me Can be quite stressful Regardless I’ve found personal wealth with a colt who’s just my type Better than riches and good health Is knowing my body fits his hooves just right. -Stormy P.S. I changed the rhyme scheme from 'Clerihew' to 'Cinquain' because that's what we're going over in my class now. Personally, I think poetry sounds better as an 'A.A/B.B.' kind of poem, over a 'A.B/A.B.' type, but that's just me. This Is Getting Silly. I get you must practice for your class But, do I really need to make an ass Of myself all the time By writing silly words in rhyme? I must admit, it’s getting even harder knowing you use writing these as barter In exchange for sex ...um, and that’s a hex? -Gentle Strokes. P.S. Wanna grab dinner tonight? Or do I have to ask you out in a poem now? Sorry, Strokes I know it’s getting kind of lame Playing this stupid sexy game that I call ‘Incentive Studying’, but Once I get an ‘A +’ from the nut Who calls himself my poetry prof All night long, my salad you may toss -Stormy P.S. Dinner sounds great. Nell’s? Capital ‘G’ ‘A’ ‘Y’ Yeah. I’m not going to try to Write a poem or anything I’m just going to come outright and say it I found your stupid poetry journal hidden In your sock drawer when I was going to borrow some lube for this chick I brought home who was really into...um, never mind forget I said that. Anyways..I just wanted to let you know that it’s really, really, really really, really, really really Gay. -Jagged Horn P.S. I ate that leftover salad from Nell's that you had in the fridge.... Response. Shut up, Jag! -Stormy/Gentle Strokes.
