But if he had to He'd go down broken, bloody, and bitin' The kinda guy Who'd never say die He'd take the mud, blood, spit in his eye And try Because the last person he'd ever wanna fail is you So he'd bite the bullet and go through Any tribulation he'd have to And crossin' paths with him in anger Is a day anyone would rue Because he'd never fool around He'd get deep, down, and dirty And do what he'd have to do Just remember, man That's all for you The Webster definition of the word "friend" He'd stand by you 'till the very end Doin' whatever he thought was necessary Even if it meant becomin' the whole world's adversary That's loyalty, man A motherfucking bond eternal And tryin' to bend or break it Evokes a wrath infernal Stronger than any gun or blade Sentient, trusting, and never afraid But always keep in mind It's a two-way street And it doesn't take much To crack the concrete If you ever betray your friend's trust It'll be your own damn fault when you bite the dust And bust Shattered all apart Yeah, you'll deserve to be left all alone to rust For not having a heart So treasure those close to you And hold high every vow Because you don't wanna be the one on the ground Watchin' 'em walk away Askin' yourself, "How...?" > Strength Through Friendship > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strength Through Friendship A poem inspired by happiness ~ ~ ~ So many times So many places So very many Angry faces I got used to all The hateful shouts and calls It became A part of my everyday life It was so strange When these ponies came to me Showed me friendship Showed me harmony Amanda Palmer taught me That the Orange Man always gets us in the end Andrew Jackson Jihad taught me That we never really have a friend But just this once But just this once I don't think these sad songs are true You've got me I've got you We've got these ponies What've we got to lose? I put so much effort In maintaining who I am But sometimes I forget How to just not give a damn Not in any way dangerous Or anyway offensive It's just that every once in a while We all tend to get explosive Is it really so wrong To live a little and have some fun? These ponies have taught me strength Enough to appreciate the sun And watch it's golden glow anew Breaching into my morning view Twixt my shading branches through And only ever fully appreciated by few Celestia be praised It's a brand new day And hey... I'm feeling happy for once ~ ~ ~ (Yes, I used "twixt". I was drunk. Gimme a break.) > Learning Curve > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learning Curve A poem inspired by nervousness and apprehension ~ ~ ~ So much to learn And such little time to waste Putting ink onto parchment Putting paper onto paste Little Twilight Little Twilight There is so much out there to learn But there is something Yes there is something For which you don't yet know your heart yearns The bindings of books Bound bold with block letter print Put down ages ago Meant to be eternally permanent Encased in leather Long-lasting reinforced binds You searched for the answers That nopony ever finds Oh, oh, oh, because you are a genius But take no pride in the title Because it can just as easily be a curse Yes, the distinction is vital There is a learning curve And the measure is steep And Twilight, dear Twilight The hour is deep Yes, we need you to act And we need you to act strong I know that you're nervous But you've had it in you all along ...Now take the leap... > Getting Better > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Better A poem similar to others I already wrote but also inspired by my general happiness gosh-darnnit ~ ~ ~ There's too many things Bouncing around inside my head Some times I wish the worst That I was dead But I know that's not the way Oh, when I was young And heard that Roger Waters found the way To stay artistic And yet somehow also sane I knew that I would somehow be alright Now years have past I'm largely the same Not dangerous or self-destructive But also not sustained I feel inadequate I feel somehow unwhole Like there's a piece missing The part to fill the void For a while I bemoaned Acted the end of the world But then a cartoon Before my eyes unfurled Colorful ponies Prancing, playing, and having fun And even defending their home The whole three-base run! I watched as they laughed I watched as they cried I watched as the pink one Slathered her face in cream pie A sight to behold These six technicolor ponies Heck, anyone to deny them Must surely be phonies I love this show in ways not expressible in the English Language. > Faster > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Faster A rap inspired by the bull-headed determination to continue doing better each time you try ~ ~ ~ With a tug, I strap my goggles on Lookin' up at the first rays of dawn Every day, I start the same way Faster than anypony's ever gone A little leap and I'm off the cloud Gravity fights me, but it ain't allowed To stop these wings from settin' me free Freer than anypony should ever be And I'm off, like a rocket with a rainbow trail The whole spectrum followin' my tail Reachin' speeds that nothin' else exceeds The dare to do better satisfyin' my needs My only desire, climb higher and higher Every single flight brings me down to the wire 'Cause even the slightest mistake And I'm outta control, riskin' a neck break Not that I haven't broken somethin' before Wakin' up in the hospital, every bone sore It just ain't enough to ever make me stop Puttin' the pedal to the metal with all I got And that's when it happens, an explosion of light The signal tellin' me that I got it right Behind me, colors stretch across the sky My claim to fame, quite the cool sight By the time I get home, I'll be restin' easy tonight > The Biggest Smile > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Biggest Smile A brief poem inspired by the Premier Party Pony ~ ~ ~ Everypony needs to smile At least once in a while And I'm sure you know what I mean When I say that's my one dream United together, hoof in hoof Not to mention claw, talon, and hand One day we'll all share the same grin Right where we stand I know it may not be soon There's so much to frown about But I'm more patient than I look I can wait it out And it'll be worth it Because that's what I do I'll be the happiest pony alive To share one big smile with you > Jeremy's Bitchy Poem > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy's Bitchy Poem A poem inspired by a unicorn who's constantly frustrated ~ ~ ~ This poem, if it isn't incredibly obvious, applies to the canon events of Psychedelica - Pastel Ponies, which features the formerly-suicidal and formerly-human Jeremy Robin. Read it for some context if you'd like, but don't feel pressured to, yo. ~ ~ ~ Tied a rope to the ceiling Stuck my head through the noose Kicked off of the chair But there wasn't any use I hung in the air But I wasn't really hung Then a soft voice spoke out Like a church bell had rung Oh, my closet ate me Gobbled me up like a stew And when I opened my eyes I stood in a place brand new Ponies surrounded me Offering help I didn't want The pink one annoyed me A quick mental note labeled her a cunt But they just wouldn't take no As an acceptable answer They were convinced they'd cure me Of my suicidal cancer So after blacking out From the heroin and pills I found myself nestled in a bed Somewhere over the hills I immediately puked And rubbed my head with a hoof A transformation that I Still wasn't quite used to After flopping around And puking some more My caretaker rushed up the stairs To find me bleeding on the floor She whisked me to the bathroom To, what a shock!, take a bath And blearily, I relented Lest I face her cute wrath Just like I did When I tried to force her to give me my drugs And she had her little dragon Torch them like some unwanted bugs In response to this crime I declared, "NOW I'M PISSED!" And gave many an emo attempt At slitting my wrists All to no avail Un-fucking-fortunately So it looked like withdrawal Would be my new destiny "Suck greatly, it did" Like Yoda might say But at the end of it all I came out stronger anyway Now I'm learning friendship From an expert on friends And with a bit of good luck This story'll have a happy end So fuck you, Twilight For this song I now sing And thank you, Twilight For the exact same fucking thing Goddamn I need a cigarette... > I'm Sick > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sick A poem inspired by feeling "Ughhhhhhhhhh..." ~ ~ ~ Food poisoning Maybe ate some bad sushi Why does Asian cuisine Always end up biting me? So now I'm sitting here In my computer chair alone Not that I'm complaining, mind you I'd much rather be home I'm not the kind of guy That enjoys others seeing me weak Besides, it's just a bit of meds To help fix this annoying tweak So after downing some Pepto I pop up VLC And pull up a vid Just the one to help me Sure, I might feel like shit But everyone does sometimes And my favorite medication Is hearing Zecora's rhymes And seeing these ponies Learn more about friendship Is just what I need To free my shoulder of this sick chip So I'll puke a few times And rue my current state But at the end of the day The love these ponies show will leave me feeling great > Wish > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wish A poem as inspired by a tragic backstory and tequila ~ ~ ~ The prospect of something like forever Isn't something anyone should ever Have to contemplate all on their own And yet here I sit, alone on my throne Watching as the days go by Lifting the moon for the night sky It isn't mine to lift, but I'll do what I must Until the day you come back The day we begin to rebuild our trust The burden is hard and my will is weak I can't even reach out to you From atop the tallest peak I'm sorry, I'm sorry I can't say it enough I never once realized Things could turn out this tough You felt all alone And now you really are Suspended in the night sky Wishing upon stars But just so you know Even with all we've been through I spend every night Wishing right alongside you Please come home... > Discord's Disharmonic Rise to Power > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discord's Disharmonic Rise to Power A pony stage production as performed by the fine actors and actresses of the Raszagal Troupe ~ ~ ~ Intro: The Bard's Song [The simple plucking of a lone lute fills the air as the curtains part. A lavender unicorn with a six-pointed star emblazoning her flanks steps forward, the lute still playing and suspended in the air by the magic aura flaring from her fluted horn.] [Bard] I sing to you a folk song But one you likely know It comes from a distant land And it comes from ages ago I speak of an ancient tyrant Chaotic, conniving, and cruel And of two great sisters Who united to end his rule [Bard, spoken] This is the story of the mad god Discord and how he plunged Equestria into its darkest age. Calamity reigned supreme and for one thousand years the only laughter that could be heard was his own. [The lights dim and the Bard exits stage left.] ~ ~ ~ Ballroom Bedlam [Enter Discord through drawn curtains to stand at center stage. The orchestra starts into a slow waltz.] [Discord] I've heard spun many a lengthy yarn Depicting me in a much kinder light But those truths are all somewhat stretched It's such a funny thing, hindsight [A brown earth pony enters from stage right and a yellow pegasus enters from stage left. They meet at back center stage, take each others' hooves, and begin to dance.] [Discord] I will admit that I once tried So very hard to abide By the many natural laws governing the land But they were all just so boring And oftentimes left me snoring And in the end I simply refused to understand The ponies all caged themselves within Prisons of rational thought Whereas it seemed only I could see the beauty That untamed chaos brought When everything in creation Can be explained, understood, and defined The simple joy of beholding All that's new and strange is undermined [Two more sets of ponies enter from opposite ends of the stage, both pairs joining hooves in the background and beginning to dance just as the previous pair had. The orchestra picks up the pace, the waltz quickening and the dancers doing the same.] [Discord] Regularity and order Sequence and symmetry That's no way to live That's no way to be free But it seemed that all were blind Everypony but me The vileness of harmony was something That only my eyes could see I felt lost and alone Perhaps even a little insulted This system that I hated Had everypony else exulted Did I really need, To follow their silly laws? Wasn't disorder, The perfect escape clause? [Two more pairs of dancers enter and join the others in the back ground. The orchestra picks up again, the dancers all moving dangerously fast in an effort to keep up with the hectic pace.] [Discord] It seemed only natural To shun order in favor of calamity A perfect world of infinite Unlimited possibility Deep down in my heart of hearts At the center of my soul I knew that chaos was The puzzle piece to make me whole But was it enough, Finally knowing why and where I stand? I still wanted to share my chaos With everypony across the land They couldn't appreciate it yet But I felt that with the right nudge they could Just a tiny, little push They'd someday thank me, I knew they would [The orchestra picks up once more, reaching a fever pitch, and the dancers all begin to trip, stumble, and fall. Soon, only Discord is left standing. The orchestra stops and silence reigns. Discord slowly makes his way to front center stage.] [Discord, spoken] In the end, I found that there was only one real option left to pursue. If anypony was ever going to see the same beauty and splendor that I saw, I was going to have to force them to see it; sunder their minds until they could finally understand things the way that I understood them. Disharmony. Disorder. Discord. Yes... Discord. The moment the word came to mind, I knew it was right. > Generosity > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generosity A poem inspired by the act of giving ~ ~ ~ The Element of Generosity That's the title given to me But even in my moments of vanity I see beyond the name To Pinkie Pie I give a smile To Fluttershy I give support And it seems to Twilight I give yet another friendship report To Spike I give affection Though one day I'll break his heart I only hope that on that day I'll still be able to give him Something to keep him from falling apart Sometimes it wears me thin Giving is not always easy But deep down I know I must Just as Rainbow Dash remains ever loyal To her I continue to give my trust In the end, I suppose I'll keep giving Until there is nothing left to give As through the years and tears I've learned That this generosity is why I live And if at the end of my days Once my candle's burned down to the wick So long as I've given my best I won't be afraid of the flame's final flick > Willing Monster > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Willing Monster A poem inspired by Nightmare Moon ~ ~ ~ Heart consumed by jealousy I watched as I twisted Into something that wasn't me I know that I should have cared But somewhere down deep A burning hatred flared And so I slipped Down a slope too steep My sister was there I heard her weep For as I felt myself fall All I did was laugh Because soon this world Would face my wrath I embraced the monster And she embraced me back Together we'd gone too far A train barreling off of its track Guided by a force A wicked puppet stained black With ropes too taught No remaining slack And as it pulled me I thought of all that I lacked... The recognition that I so righteously deserved The sun would set and my night preserved An everlasting darkness to creep across the land And finally everypony would understand Because while they feared it before They feared without reason But to snub my night now Would be considered high treason All heads would bow As I ascended the stairs to my throne For the reign of nighttime eternal Daylight overthrown An abomination, a monster My dear sister called me And with a jagged smile of razors I more than happily agreed > Funeral for the Moon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Funeral for the Moon A song inspired by a lonesome punishment shared by two sisters ~ ~ ~ This song is a direct sequel to a previous poem of mine, Willing Monster, but for obvious reasons pertaining to the backstory to the show we all know and love, it isn't really necessary to read it. ~ ~ ~ Too many tears Have I cried Oh, this eternal darkness I will not abide Luna Please understand I don't want this You've forced my hand So be prepared There's nowhere to run Here I come Yes, here comes the Sun No army will I bring You will fall To this song that I sing Not a battlecry More a funeral dirge For from this world My sister I must purge I flourished You suffered The Moon overshadowed Eclipsed by my light Luna, mistake not a word I don't want this plight But if a dusk sword you raise Then I too shall take flight We will meet in the sky And there we will fight The two sides of one coin Day against night We were meant to rule together But if you become this blight I will have no choice I'll make right with my might For while my Sun's rays can heal Forget not they burn bright And know that while they may nurture So too can they smite No army will I bring You will fall To this song that I sing Not a battlecry More a funeral dirge For from this world My sister I must purge Luna, dear Luna Blood of my blood Twin orb to mine The blade that I raise Not a weapon by design I heft Harmony against you The act itself a crime Your sentence is exile For one thousand years' time > Let Me Go > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let Me Go A pony poem as written by Joseph Raszagal ~ ~ ~ Dear Princess Celestia This is my final letter Somewhere deep down I always knew That my last one would be to you I feel that it's my time And I hope that you don't feel This request to be a crime Because I know You've done your best To keep me strong To keep me here To always keep me near Well past my days of yore So long ago now Those many suns and moons before You sent me away to Ponyville And there I made some friends Five to be exact But where I live on, their story ends And it's hurt Sometimes I've felt That I couldn't keep going But just this once I feel it's finally true My heart is slowing My breathing, ragged Every movement stings Muscles disobeying even as I Draft these words down onto parchment But even as I die Writing is second nature So no matter how much it hurts You will still receive this letter I haven't sent you a friendship report In far too many years So it's high time that I write one If anything, to quell your fears Your Twilight Sparkle Your student and protege I've lived a storied life And in the end, I've done okay My life, it's stretched on Much further than it ever should have been And in my old age, I long To see those five smiling faces again Sometime I hear Pinkie's laughter Out there in the ether Sometimes I see a rainbow trail of light Out of the corner of my eye Sometimes Rarity's sincerity And Fluttershy's never-ending kindness Mixed with a glimmer of honesty And they make me wonder how I ever Even managed to say goodbye The joy we shared Never once impaired Every bond ever hurt Soon thereafter repaired But now there are no more Links for me to fix in our chain Just as there seems An eternal torrent to this rain That I feel pouring down Heavy upon my soul We six were meant to make up The parts to a single whole And now I am without them Laying upon my deathbed All that I ask of you Is the privilege to go ahead To accept what comes naturally And finally face my maker The one garbed all in black The pale rider, the life taker I've tried my hardest to keep going But I've reached the end of my road And even now as I give in I know I've still stuck to my moral code It must seem like I'm simply leaving you To shuffle off to a better place Somewhere golden where my friends wait Through the blue sky above And through space But I leave not out of greed For all the joy awaiting me there But rather, simply the fact that So soon shall I cease to draw air My Princess, the Sun And my Princess, the Moon I ask permission, though I know nonetheless I will be leaving you both by the noon Three hundred years Is far too long for a mortal It's a miracle I've held on Just know in your hearts And know in your minds That I am proud to have weathered these years with you And somehow stay strong But you see I can remember Three special little fillies Prancing along And following in their wake Every time a new song I watched them grow up And I watched them grow old And I was there when each one Finally grew quiet and cold I just can't keep doing it It's killing me inside Witnessing the whole world around me Wash away with the tide So Princess Celestia I ask of you this Allow me to join them And plummet into the ethereal abyss You have the power to stop me You could do it with ease But Princess, my Princess I beg of you, please Let me go... ~ ~ ~ Author's Notes: Personally, so long as the writing is handled well, I have no problem with Twilight becoming an alicorn. However, I will say this. The prospect of her outliving the five friends who helped shape her life and teach her the true magic of friendship... that depresses me. That makes me go and grab the bottle. > The Bakers' Apprentice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bakers' Assistant A tribute to Cupcakes and the Clockwork Quartet by Joseph Raszagal ~ ~ ~ The Ponyville police Looked all over town But they won't find me there For I'm Canterlot bound I'm trading the village For some city smog air And they'll never catch wise That I'm there... My name is Pinkamena Star baker of Ponyville I made my tasty treats Nopony could get their fill But what they did not know The secret recipe What each cupcake truly needed Just a dash of pony So I lurked the quiet streets Each and every night For ingredients Silent and out of sight A rag over a muzzle A trip back to my lair The lights dimmed down low My guest strapped to a chair But I knew The law sought me And one day They caught me A trial was held In the pouring black rain Now, I'm not the kind, Who would grovel and pray! That they deign to show mercy, To a defense with insanity in play! So I said with a smile, In my ever-cheerful way, That I would escape, The next day! And how right that I was The guard's neck supple and soft Easily slit As I held him aloft Say what you would like I'm a pony to hold a grudge My sights set up the mountain On the home of my judge Staying to the shadows I hummed a jaunty tune My plans coming together And rising like a balloon Up they did carry me So soon I arrived It was time to sate my hunger Far too long deprived Now this judge, I tell you With eyes weak and old Would sometimes neglect To fend off the cold A back window still open The perfect size just for me I squeezed right through And prepared for a private party I tossed up Some streamers I baked up A grand cake The stage fully set For a celebration nopony could forget So I sat in his home, The clock, it tock-ticked! When suddenly it happened, The brass door lock clicked! In he did stride, And with nowhere to hide! I pounced and let my sharpened Butcher's knife slide! His blood came in rivers, A sea of red tide! Oh how I road out, The orgasmic adrenaline ride! And not once did I stop, As he howled and cried! My Cheshire grin stretching, Impossibly wide! With vengence completed I fled into the night Covered in fresh blood Surely quite the sight My thoughts, they ran wild A dark future so bright Dreams of becoming The entire world's blight Yes, now Equestria Is mine > My Own Worst Enemy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Own Worst Enemy A pony stage production as performed by the fine actors and actresses of the Raszagal Troupe ~ ~ ~ [Enter Twilight from stage left to stand at center stage, the lights dimmed as she shuffles nervously in place. Two staccato violins plays at a high and breakneck pace, their rhythm accented by the low rumbling of a lone cello.] The mirror I can see myself in the mirror But it's not me The voice I can hear myself screaming in my head But it's not me I'm not my own worst enemy [Enter Dark Twilight from stage right to join the original at center stage, her features drained of all color. Taking Twilight's hooves in her own, Dark Twilight stands on her rear legs and begins to lead the two into a blindingly fast pirouetting dance.] The things she says I would never say I'd never give those thoughts The time of day And who is she to point hooves, Anyway? No matter what she shouts I'm not a failure I won't let her distract me No matter how right she seems I know I can do this I won't let her consume me No, I'm not my own worst enemy [The two Twilights continue to spin and twirl in time with each other all about the stage, a running piano joining the maddening pace set by the strings.] I'm smarter than this These problems are simple to solve I'm better than this She can't break my resolve Wait a second Did that one come out right? No matter, that's fine I still have all night She starts laughing But I don't listen She's just trying to confuse me My head starts pounding But I don't pay attention It's not enough to discourage me Because I'm not my own worst enemy! [The two mares part hooves and dace their way to opposite ends of the stage, gracefully spinning on their rear hooves and dipping into a low dive forward to return to each other. Standing on their hind legs, they both take their partner's hooves in their own once more and resume their duet dance.] Another equation wrong I hate it when my quill slips I go to scratch it out And the whole paper rips Slamming a hoof in frustration I tip over my inkpot The black fluid drips down on the carpet To form a black blot Her laughter doubles Echoing loud in my head But she won't get the best of me She might be in my mind Dominating my thoughts But I control the rest of me AND I'M NOT MY OWN WORST ENEMY! [As the music builds to a sharp screech, the sound of a pane of glass shattering echoes throughout the theater. Dark Twilight twirls the original Twilight one final time before letting go in mid arc and sending the purple mare sprawling to the floor at center stage. Impacting harshly, Twilight touches a hoof to her muzzle and winces in pain, pulling it away to find it bloodied. Six additional Dark Twilights enter from stages left and right.] I flail a hoof and smash the mirror The glass cracks and splits seven ways The mocking then multiples septuple times A crowd of shrill, giggling brays I clutch my head and close my eyes My heart pounds a marathon in my chest The hyenas' laughter drowns out every thought Despite all of my efforts best In between their howls They all sing aloud Joining hooves, delivering a prophecy I curl into a ball Blood running cold As they roar my life's destiny THAT I'M MY OWN WORST ENEMY! [Bowing her head, Twilight sinks to her haunches and begins weeping quietly as the lights dim to total darkness.] I can't I'm not I won't [Amid the shadows, the Dark Twilights all form a circle and surround the crying mare. Their voices carry across the theater as one.] You can You are And you will... [End scene.] > I am Brony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Brony As written by Joseph Raszagal Because you all make me so goddamn happy ~ ~ ~ Everyday starts the same Kill the mustache Wash it down the drain Never could grow one I'd rather trim and tidy my beard And then I'm done and on the run Pick out pants, socks, and shirt A pastel one I know that'll work Pinkie's face beamin' out smiles Stretchin' all across the land for miles Then it's right outside Gotta furnace to fuel Workin' up a sweat 'Neath me a pool Takin' careful aim with my axe into wood Squint to make sure my swing is good Bring it down, one log becomes two And then I still got twenty more to do By noon I've finished Gotta fire to mold A warm and cozy one For a happy household After all of that I've got some free time And if I didn't do what's next It'd be a fucking crime Just a little break Before I go see my friends Watchin' some MLP Before the night begins Because I am Brony Why should I be shy? My smile is wide And my spirits are high High as the upper atmosphere Where the sun shines bright And the skies are clear A land of magic and fun For us all to explore So get up, get down Get those hooves on the floor Let's shake things up Like never before Some say we neigh But I say we roar! Because we are Bronies Fans of these amazing Technicolor ponies Everyone who thought it was all a fad They're all just phonies They just wanna get mad But let's not settle And focus on the hate This ain't no time For us all to stagnate We're better than that We don't get irate Our modus operandi Love and tolerate And it's just that That makes me feel great When we take a step back And look at each attack We can tell that the weight Of each is only second-rate Sure, there's always time To berate in a debate Because others don't agree With such a simple thing As what makes us happy Often I'm cynical But it's these times I'm not I won't let the bitterness Fester and rot Deep down in my soul Because I am Brony Loud and clear Just as you are Brony Everypony here! Some of us are scizophrenic Living in a world half real And some of us are bipolar Never really sure how we feel Flip-floppity, angry to sad One minute confusion And then the next we're glad And yes, some of us are other things Much too hard to easily explain It's like trying to compare A jumbo jet to a train One flies and the other rolls But in the end they both move And despite our afflictions We've all got our own groove We know where we stand And we know who stands with us It's just so hard sometimes Knowing who we can trust But trust me when I say this Believe me if you can You've got your friends I know you do The kinda, sorta people That'll never judge you What's that, They don't like the same show? It's all entertainment, Don't you know? And not everyone Can like the same thing To some it's tarnished To us, a diamond ring But that's okay A real friend wouldn't care Aren't we all breathing, The same damn air? I thought by now That we've all learned Once a true, true friend Is truly earned That something as simple As a little cartoon Wouldn't be enough To chase 'em out of the room Yeah, real ones Stick with ya through thick and thin Even if you're ranting 'Bout ponies again!
