Nine year ago, a magical show about talking ponies came on and soon after, a fandom was born. Who would have ever known such a thing would happen. So, I made this poem for us all to enjoy and look back at all the times we had in our little fandom

Nine years ago, a show about magical ponies came on, and soon after, a fandom was born.
We all had fun throughout those years and made many wonderful things.
Sadly, the end is near and so I write this poem for us to enjoy and walk down the road of wonderful memories.

I did write this in the Amino ap, BUT writing a poem on a cellphone is annoying and so, I made a longer one here, cause I wanted to say much more.

Did You Know What Would Happen?

When the book opened that day.
Did you ever think you'd stay?

A show about magical talking ponies?
That in itself, sound like bologna.

It's gonna be girly and stupid you say?
Why should I give it any time of day?

Huh? people like a show, made for a girl?
Even men like it, I think I am gonna hurl.

You know what, I will give it a try.
I mean, it's not like I will die.

Really now? The Elder Sister banishes her little sis to the moon?
This is such a cringe and sappy little toon.

A purple unicorn must learn about the magic of friendship?
And she has a purple dragon..maybe I should just skip?.

Does Reba voice the orange pony?
oh well, the show is still phony.

The pink one is so annoying and loud.
People like this show, what is there to be proud?

And the white one is way to up tight.
I doubt this show will ever get much light.

The rainbow one has such an ego.
Why am I watching this show?

The yellow one is so meek.
This show is really weak.

There goes episode two.
good, I am finally through.

Hmm, I will give another episode a see.
You know, the rule of three.

Huh, the characters are really good.
Hmm..maybe I should?

HAHA, the one called Fluttershy.
just made a huge fearsome dragon cry.

A sleepover episode, this is bad.
Oh, it was nice, so glad.

Winter wrap up, win..wait did I just?
no no...but, I must.

The show has proven to be really good.
I never knew it would.

Amazing how I decided to stay
When a book opened that day.

It was awesome seeing Dash's Sonic Boom.
I never knew, a fandom was in bloom.

Wait, Apple bloom was only picking
And this is what started Scootaloo being a chicken?

As season one went by.
I'm glad I gave the show a try.

Who knew we would be hook.
When we saw what was in the open book.

And here comes season two.
Wait, is that Q!

Oh look, its Nightmare Night.
And Luna is such a delight.

Wait, what's that I hear fans yell?
The worst episode is The Mysterious Mare do Well?

Wait what? people have issue with Derpy's eye
Its a controversy I hear them cry.

my oh my, what a show!
And we still have more to go!

bleh, Hearts and Hooves was sappy
But aw, Pinkie just wanted Cranky to be happy.

Oh and the Smile song was such a hoot.
Oh my, the fans made a "Massive Smile Project" to boot?

And just listen to This Day Aria, oh my.
This show is gonna to fly high!

Look, Season three is here!
And the fandom has made it clear.

That we are called Pegasisters and bronies!
and we are fans of My Little Pony.

Who could know.
When that book opened three years ago.

We would stand together!
Hoof, horn, and Feather!

While giving each other a hoof bump with cheer.
while making OC's we made dear.

For I never knew a background pony could have any spotlight.
This show and fandom truly is a delight.

Oh look it is Doctor Who Pony, Octavia, and Derpy from up above
And I wonder, are Lyra and Bon Bon in love?

But what is this right here?
The fandom has art, music, and much to cheer?

Oh, but I'm simply at a lost.
Who is a better pony musician, Aviators or Elias Frost?

And props to Mush and the Living Tombstone for the Discord song from long ago
Oh and Woodentoasters for the Rainbow Factory, oh what a show!

And thanks to Jessie Nowack for giving voice to DJpon-3.
and praise to the creators of My Little Dashie.

Plus, we enjoyed the animations of Shadesofeverfree.
and the MLP commentaries.

On top of that, we got Button Mash.
and the twenty percent cooler with Rainbow Dash.

Plus, we liked Mentally advanced.
How I am ever glad, I gave this show a chance.

For fans and show writers made us stay.
thanks to a book opening that day.

But it seemed Season three was the peak.
For after, the fandom started to get weak.

Thirteen episodes is what we got.
And some left, thinking the show was about to rot.

We see Dash starting her dream
And Discord was soon to be redeem

Lastly, Twilight became a alicorn
To which most fans were scorn.

But wait, calm down.
No need to frown.

Change is good you see.
For these characters are to grow, like an apple tree.

We see not just them grow through the years.
But we as a fandom as well my dears.

Oh and look, Equestria Girls is here
but, it was just a cash grab I fear.

Thankfully, Rainbow Rocks was great
The sirens need to come back, before it's to late.

Plus the girls from Friendship Games
We love them all the same.

But at last here is season four.
Lets watch it and adore.

So the plot is about, what is in the box?
And Mane Six must get a key for the locks.

But what is this?
Looks like background ponies will be miss.

For it seemed season three.
Was the end of any new background pony.

Sad it is to say.
But we will watch the show anyway.

but we have ponies like Maud, Cheese and Cocoa to help us feel better.
But it seems, the Mane Six don't bother writing any letter.

Lastly comes the tyrant Tirek, from g1 Pony.
And the mane six defeat him, thanks to the Harmony Tree.

But in this season.
We see the end of the rainbow of friendship and dear princess Celestia for a good reason.

Our little ponies came a long way
Ever since that book opened that day.

The mane six need not write to Celestia each day.
For they all know the magic of friendship...hoo way.

And here comes Season five
Lets take it in strive.

Oh my, episode 100 was a thank you to us all
Fans who are big and small.

How very sweet.
The creators gave us a treat.

It seems the big bad this season is Starlight Glimmer.
Some say she is just a pallet swap of Sunset Shimmer.

This is also the season when fans said the show is getting stale.
So they decided to bale.

Sadly, it does seem the show is not at its peak like in the old days
But I guess some of us will stay

I do miss hearing unicorn Twilight ending the show with a letter and pen.
"Dear princess Celestia, today I learned"..like it use to have been.

Now we have a map and Princess Twilight.
Spreading the magic of friendship to all, including Starlight.

And even still we say.
We are glad the book opened that day.

Thus, here comes season six and seven.
You know, to some this show is heaven.

Strange I know, but this show helped a great few.
in their lives..who knew?

thanks to those that stand tall.
It is great to be different after all

And it is all thanks to a book that opened that day
That we fans, said we will stay.

It still amazes me
What this fandom can be.

From those who are being bullied at school or even in our fandom.
We help each other out, that is our anthem.

Thus, as seasons passed like a tide.
Just know, it is ok to shed liquid pride.

The CMC got their cutie marks after six years.
Spike got his Wings and Fluttershy is over her fears.

Rainbow Dash finally achieved her dreams.
And Twilight has become the Friendship school's dean it seems.

And season eight is gone?
what other adventures can the ponies go on?

Eight years of friendship, laughs and cheer.
As I look around I fear.

The fandom which we adore.
is starting to become no more!

While we still have Silverquil's "Pinkie Says Goodnight."
plus Scribbler, Magpie, Wubcake, and DrWolf are still a delight.

How long will we last?
The fandom is not like it was in the past.

Seeing Soundspeed say goodbye.
and the termination of Caboltsky.

Made us all sad
But, even still, we are glad.

Cause, we came a long way.
ever since a book opened that day.

The show has a movie, spin off, and a devoted fandom with so much love!
The show has much to be proud of.

And look here comes season nine!
How divine!

But Wait what is this?
o bo..please, the show will be miss.

..sadly, all good things must come to an end.
The show, was just the latest trend.

But guess what my fellow brony.
We will still watch My Little Pony.

Even though Bronycon and season nine end this year
let us not cry, but cheer!

Let us fill our hearts with joy, and not be sad
But instead lets laugh and be glad.

Cause we came a long way!
and we are proud to say!

That when the book of friendship opened that day!
And when the closing of the book comes our way!
We as a fandom are proud to say!
THAT WE ARE GLAD WE CHOSE TO STAY!
