The Great Ponyville Rhyme-Off
Snips and Snails Afterwards
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHey, Snails! Let's try rhyming
Like Trixie and Zecora did!
Er, Snails, I don't know how to rhyme-
Oh, look a katydid.
Sure you do! You did it then!
Why, you're a rhyming wiz!
It's nice of you to say that, but
I don't know what rhyming is.
You did it again! See there, Snails?
You're matching what I say!
Hello there, little grasshopper,
How are you today?
Leave the bug alone, Snails,
Pay attention to the words-
If you don't go hide, grasshopper,
You'll get eaten by some birds.
When two words sound almost alike,
That's rhyming- do you see?
When I said to hide from birds,
I didn't mean in the tree.
Snails, are you even listening?
I've kinda got a hunch-
Whoops! I didn't expect a bat!
My grasshopper friend is lunch.
Hello, Snails? Buddy? Pal?
Did you hear a word I'm saying?
Huh? Oh, sorry, Snips,
I guess I wasn't paying-
Yeah, I noticed. Never mind,
I guess rhyming isn't for us.
Whatever you say, Snips.
But why are we in the forest?
Well, we want to watch as Trixie
fights an ursa major, right?
Well, yeah, but Mom told me to stay
Out of the woods at night.
But don't you want to watch the magic
Trixie told us all about?
Yeah, but it's the Everfree Forest
And that sign just said KEEP OUT.
Look, we gotta have an ursa!
This is the one place we haven't looked!
Well, I hope we find one soon
Or else my goose is cooked.
Snails, you can stop rhyming now,
It's getting irritating.
Maybe we could set a trap-
But what would we use for baiting?
Now you're doing it on purpose!
Doing what?
Rhyming!
Huh?
Look, just stop talking and let's find it!
Find what?
The ursa majuh.
Author's Note
I wanted this to be split-alignment, with Snips's lines on the left and Snails's on the right. But the formatting wouldn't cooperate, so this is what I could do without using colored text.
