My Little Pony: Friendship is a Limerick

by Amante


The Ticket Master

Twilight and AJ walked on a day fair

brimming apple baskets they did bear.

They talk of Big Mac

and a certain pact

of wearing dear Granny’s underwear.

But then they hear a rumbly tummy.

Twilight’s craving something yummy.

When all of sudden

a letter of summon

from the pony who is quite sunny.

My Little Pony, rinse and repeat.

Theme song begins not missing a beat.

A song we all know

that means it’s the show.

Your arrival it does indeed greet.

Applejack dreams to setup a stand

with which to promote her apple brand.

She wants at the bash

to make tons of cash.

To fix roof, plow, and hip as they planned.

But then they hear a rustle in the tree.

It was surprising, they both agree.

A Rainbow falls down

and is wearing a frown.

To give AJ the ticket, she doesn’t agree.

Attending the Gala would be her chance.

The Wonderbolts, she could show them her stance.

She would show them her trick,

and then be their pick.

Her one true dream could finally advance.

The two ponies begin to compete.

No ticket for who ends in defeat.

Twilight slips away.

She has to find a way,

to make sure neither pony will feel beat.

As she walked through Ponyville proper

she got hit by a pony sweet, not sour.

It was Pinkie Pie

and the tickets she did spy.

She thought them bats which made her cower.

Seeing what they were, she began a song.

One for which she was ready, all along.

Celebration quite sweet

with fun ponies to meet.

She’s a party pony, what could go wrong?

As she bounced around in happiness,

arrived, Rarity, not wearing a dress.

Her eyes they did grow.

The chance to meet her beau,

Her dreams of the gala, she did express.

Truth be told, her plan had grand scale.

It also sounded more like a fairy tale.

Her prince she would find,

their courtship refined.

In Spike’s opinion, all too stale.

All of a sudden a white bunny did swipe

the tickets that were held by dear ol’ Spike.

They were given to Fluttershy

which widened her eye.

yet the party did not give her hype.

For her, it was only the garden room,

and a chance to see it all in bloom.

The beautiful flora

and plentiful fauna.

The buzzards did buzz, she did presume

Our little Twilight was very distressed.

To make a decision, she was hard pressed.

Then out of nowhere

came the rainbow mare.

Trailing behind was AJ, just as she guessed.

The five good friends started fighting.

None of it really inviting.

All for a ticket

they’d jump in the thicket.

An answer from Twilight they were inciting.

To all of them she screamed, “QUIET!!!”

First thing’s first, she needed her diet.

After lunch she said,

so she could clear her head.

They’d just have to wait, and not cause a riot.

At the shop she ordered a sandwich.

To whom to give, she did not know which.

The other ponies ran

from fire into pan.

Yet somehow, she had her own niche.

The waiter asked, “Will you eat in the rain?”

To which she replied, “Are you insane?”

She looked up above

the answer fit like a glove.

Keeping her dry was Rainbow’s real game.

In the end, she shooed her away.

But nothing could keep the rain at bay.

At least not until

the next pony to thrill.

Time for Rarity to do it her way.

Her solution was quite simple:

A makeover to let her twinkle.

Then she let slide

she could be a bride.

Poor Twilight’s patience did dwindle.

She made to leave but was stopped by a cart,

filled up with treats from pies to tarts.

AJ’s plan was food,

frankly quite shrewd.

But Twilight caught on and said, “Don’t you dare start.”

She ran back to the library.

Her own literary sanctuary.

But to her surprise,

inside another guise,

Fluttershy’s form of bribery.

The ticket the reason, no doubt.

As she flew, a song she did spout.

She cleaned up the books

and every little nook.

Twilight had enough and said, “Get out!”

She opened the door and got caught.

To Pinkie’s party, she was brought.

Now all knew the secret,

she had an extra ticket.

‘Uh oh,’ her one singular thought.

Surrounded and put on the grill,

starting here it all goes downhill.

A chase all through town

is what had went down,

in the style of good ol’ Benny Hill.

Trapped in a corner, she had one more trick.

Teleportation, lickety split.

She thought her alone,

seeing friends made her groan.

And made her enter a long sobbing fit.

As the purple mare made her point clear

the other five looked on in abject fear.

They made Twilight feel bad

which in turn made them sad.

They completely burned out the poor little dear.

They then told her that it was okay.

To the ticket, they would say, “No way.”

All except Rainbow,

who was a bit slow,

but did end up also saying, “Neigh.”

Spike then did Twilight address,

a solution for all of this stress.

Return both of them

rather than condemn.

A lesson in friendship she did then express.

The reply was immediate.

In it, a solution quite lenient.

Six invitations

for the big occasion.

All their tricks now expedient.

With everypony satisfied

Among friends Twilight did confide.

But what about Spike?

His belch then did strike.

His own ticket made him feel ratified.
