When the lights go out and dark has consumed the world.
That is the time for scary stories to be heard.
Come now, ponies and other of you ilk.
The time has come for cookies and a glass of milk.
But don't mind that thing that went bump in the night.
If you turned to look it would give you a fright.

Instead listen to me, your host for this eve.
As you hear stories you can scarcely believe.
Some are told by ponies you know well.
Some by those who in the background dwell.
Gather round, now my ponies so stark.
For Mare-y Stories to Tell in the Dark.
