A letter to my beloved man-eating pony

My finger, my finger
A chunk is missing from my finger!
Give it back, give it back
Cry beloved, cry!

And that is where I left off and went to bed, it was 2am…


Meli was kind enough to contribute another verse so here it is:

Alas alas i shall never get it back,
the chunk so dear, i'll forever lack,
have a care for the peice my finger needs,
when you watch the rest as it silently bleeds,
oh give it back, give it back,
die beloved, die!


Though perhaps if you are not clued in you may need some information here on what this pile of crap is all about yah?
Well, it all began when I was in Joburg for the N21 weekend seminar and we were staying at this estate that had rabbits, sheep, freaky looking chickens and a sweet-seeming pony. so I, i full confidence walked up to this pony and stuck out my hand to give it a little love and THE DAMN THING BIT ME! I should tell you the rest of the story where, after the beloved carnivore snacked on my finger, he then turned around and started advancing toward me butt first, intending, I am sure, to place a well-aimed, solid kick on my fragile body.
Ang firmly believes that it was actually ME that bit the pony and somewhere amidst the hubbub I managed to put all the blame on the horse.
I like to think the pony was a she, and a jealous she too…I’ve yet to figure out what it was jealous of (the list could be endless really) though I have a sneaking suspicion there may have been a HE pony somewhere in the distance, though I did not see him. In fact all I saw was a little ram and I’d rather not like to think about what that may suggest if you read too much into the situation.

Fragile body? My ass.

Heyyyy...what's with the personal attacks...you know I bruise easily. Nice to see you visit here though.

right. i was about to say the same thing:
"Fragile body"?
no offense. i mean, who wants to be frail and fragile. How pathetic.
anyway, dear readers, for a picture of this giant carnivorous finger eating horse-monster, check out my blog: www.thislittlepiggystayedathome.blogspot.com

Uh, no, I went to your blog missy and there were NO pictures of my beloved pony..how could you get my hopes up like that and then just crush me so hard?

But I'm missing something... did he really bite off some of your finger? (worry, worry)
