The Rock

The show was going great.

I was finishing a flyby.

when somepony threw a rock,

and knocked me out of the sky.

It came out of nowhere.

I could easily have been killed.

But I woke up in a hospital

apparently in Ponyville.

I'm grounded for 5 weeks.

Because it hit me in the head.

They say if it had hit a centimeter off,

right now I'd be dead.

With the boredom setting in,

I sometimes wish it was so.

But I'll change my mind when I'm out of there.

When I'm flying in another airshow.

In the bed next to mine

is a pony named Amiss Fortune.

He was mauled by timber wolves,

I would really hate to be him.

The rest of my team came earlier

to see if I was okay.

But I was still unconscious.

At least that's what the nurses say.

The food here is pretty good.

Leave it to me to say that.

I really love to eat,

and always appreciate a good snack.

But I need to escape this place.

I'm going to go insane.

I can't lie in this bed that long,

despite being in pain.

I'll just walk it off.

I'll leave this boring place

I'll be better in no time,

And flying again in a few days.

Then I could find the pony

that threw that damn rock.

They ruined an entire show,

and I think we need to have a little talk.
