Friendship is magic?  It's silly and fun,
Following ponies who caper and run.
Often, it ventures surprisingly deep,
Glancing at topics not simple or cheap—
Just most of the time with a horse pun.

Little about it will startle or stun:
Product, it's plain, is the reason it's spun.
Stories get touching but won't make you weep,
"Friendship is magic!"

Maybe I'm stupid to call it well done.
Hopeful that shadows can melt in the sun,
Shallow or wimpy or kind of a creep,
Mawkish, oblivious: badges I keep.
Committed until I'm the last one:
Friendship is magic!
