Description Guybrush has lost track of her small charge,
So into the home of this hermit she does barge.
This hermits angry for she's been stranded,
By the last ship that here landed.
Now her a parrot is her only friend,
To teach it drinking songs she did not intend.
So now it blasts this philosophic verse,
The torture caused could not be worse.
Though Dinky is not here to be found,
She must be somewhere around.
Probably hiding from that raucous bird,
In the jungle where it can't be heard.

Scootaloo is always a bird. This pleases me. I love your stuff!! It looks like it's directly from the show!

Your drawing skills are ones i do envy,
i wonder if i'm as good a writer as thee.
This crossover deserves many internets,
on that i would surely place plenty bets.
You have made me start rhyming again,
to bad i need sleep just like all mortal men.

Even I do sometimes go to sleep,
Away all worries dreams do sweep.
Though of I late I am up to long,
Far past the ringing of the midnight gong.
I really should just go to bed,
But these ponies keep jumping inside my head.
Perhaps my lack of sleep does drive my art,
Even though I can barely keep my lids apart.
But all this fun I would not trade,
No matter the offer that was made.

F!@$% YOU TOO!

Oh silly filly of such small size,
You are a chicken in my eyes.
It should not be so fun to tease,
But quite often you are found in trees.

Scootabird: If a tree fall in the woods and noponys around, what color is it?
Murray: Did it fall on Threepony?
Threepony: No!
Murray: Then who cares?
Trixie: Trixie likes the talking skull. Want to trade?

Fetchbeer In reply to EmoticonMouse [2011-07-26 20:00:19 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps these things could be exchanged,
A talking skull for a bird deranged.
Murray would be a nice addition,
To the show of any magician.
An audience would watch in awe,
The instant that demon skull they saw.
Over this deal the corsair mare would not be choked,
For she does like her ego stroked.
She'd train the bird with a treat,
So "Guybrush Threepony Mighty Pirate," it would repeat.

Poor Trixie. Well she'll learn her lesson..someday...maybe...
The parrot's color scheme is something I find rather ... amusing.
That and the fact Guybrush seems blissfully ignorant of something or another.

I dun geddit Trixie lies once and everyone thinks she needs a lesson, AJ lies through her teeth for an entire episode causing a large variety of damage and chaos but theres nothing wrong with that, i has all the question marks =/

Drasvin In reply to McGack [2011-07-25 16:48:30 +0000 UTC]

Ah, but Trixie's lesson isn't about lying, but about arrogance. As Fetchbeer points out, she's a showmare, so a little lying to put on a great act is expected. The problem came to how arrogant she was and her 'better-than-you' attitude (and the stupidity of Snips and Snails). Even after she was shown to be a sham, that she couldn't even best an Ursa Minor, she still clung to the facade of 'The Great and Powerful' Trixie, still claiming to be the most powerful unicorn in Equestria even as she was running from Ponyville.

It's all the fault of that pirate mare,
For Trixie she abandoned on her last trip here.
Her anger is over being stranded,
And as a lying coward being branded.

We expect a showmare to exaggerate,
During her magic show, so elaborate.
Those foals and their mischief were to blame,
The Great Trixie should suffer no shame.

Trixie makes everything greater,
And she laughs in the face of danger.
We all should hold her in awe,
Though her bragging is a flaw.

Everything is better with that unicorn,
Though for her predicament I do mourn.
Her true love neglected so far away,
The one who stranded her will dearly pay.
Indeed it seems she should return the favor,
And leave Guybrush here to bananas savor.

Somehow I completely missed the Scootalook-a-like parrot, which is BUTTERED AWESOME!

The punchline needed to be revised,
By a poultry transformation no one is surprised.
So to further torment Scootaloo,
More variations we should brew.

I needed a colorful little bird,
To complete the scene so absurd.
I didn't want the standard joke,
For more fun I wanted to poke.
So as a parrot that filly I drew,
We all enjoy mocking Scootaloo.

This affliction is in no way rare,
To read poems with her flair.
Zecora's voice is in our heads,
With every pony rhyme it spreads.

the response you made is very clever,
but you will not remain that way forever.
for i can rhyme my words, it's true,
but Zecora would still be proud of you.
