Now Derpy Hooves was a mailmare
Who wrote poems without reason or care.
Sexy Encounters
She loved to recount; her
rhymes induced groans and pulled hair.

One day after coming home early,
Derpy Hooves decided that surely
Her poems could be better
Unrhyming, it'd let her
Make her passages flowing and curly.

But in walked a Changéling, Horizon.*
He told her that keeping his eyes on
A poem with no rhymes
Would give him a hard time
Because rhymes are what he relies on.

He said "Derpy, your writing is wonkey
Reading it makes me bray like a donkey.
So please write for pleasure,
Not penis length measure
or Daring Do stories by Ponky

"I'm saying your stories are funny,
Not erotic; that is why, Honey
You should put the rhymes in:
Your readers will find them
Hilarious, stick to your guns, please.

"The rhymes make the writing more silly
To make these poems smut, it would kill me.
So stick to the rom coms;
Don't sensualize, you'll bomb.
I'd rather have laughs than stiff willy.

"I know Twilight likes rhymeless poems
But remember, she gets wet eyeing big tomes.
The lusts of that nerd
Are completely absurd
If she wants her own poems she can grow em.

"So onward, your readers are waiting
Their poetry fix needs satiating
Try writing in limerick
It's punchy is and quite quick
And on the ears never is grating."

With that the orange Changéling took leave
And Derpy's short lived reprieve
From writing in rhyme
Had used up its time
Now it was time to write, not to grieve.

So Derpy searched round for a topic.
Unfortunately she was myopic:
Since she was near-sighted,
Her vision alighted
On her half-completed clopfic:

A tale about sex on a lake,
And the love that Mac and Cheer make.
She decided to take it,
Rework and rebake it
Into limericks for comedy's sake.

She picked up a pen in her wing's grip
And into an inkpot the thing dipped
Having grabbed fresh paper,
Holding pen like a rapier,
She began to write words with her wingtip...

Author's Note

*Horizon insists he's not a changeling, and that's not strictly true. His family name is Changéling, which can be awkward at security checkpoints.
