Pony
Your beauty was as
tempting as that first
scented My-Little-Pony.
I paraded you around
only until I realized
how strange it is
to sniff cotton candy
on a plastic pony’s
ass. If only you
had come with that
little pink grooming comb…
I would have tamed
your blonde mane into
a silky pile, and
set you loose amongst
the Normals. Free to
roam as far as
that phony fence permits.
