         <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It may not make you bigger<br />
Letting humans ride<br />
But you know who does that?  Trigger.<br />
He carried Roy with pride.</p>

<p>So you wonder what your part is<br />
Because you're saddled and repressed<br />
But freedom's where your heart is<br />
So you freedom's in your chest.</p>

<p>Everyone's a stallion in their own way<br />
Everyone can rear and neigh and paw.<br />
Just not as high as me<br />
But ponies, you can still look on with awe</p>

<p>Everyone's a stallion in their own way<br />
In own My Little Pony way.</p>]]>

         <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bad Man! Bad Man! Bad Man! Bad Man!<br />
He knows of your condition,<br />
That hominid of vice.<br />
He got the new petition<br />
That you sent in (twice!)<br />
He's checking your submission<br />
To make sure you're not nice.<br />
A vile outrage, a cunning plan,<br />
Of stampedes he is quite a fan--<br />
Bad Man! Bad Man!  Bad Man!  He's Bad!<br />
The Evil League of Evil<br />
Is watching how you trot<br />
Your bid to join the league rejected<br />
Like as not<br />
So go get medieval<br />
Or else it won't mean squat,<br />
We hope you're not an also-ran:<br />
Go get your crime on! Signed, Bad Man.</p>]]>

<p>Aw, Serge, you know I only ride herd on you because I *heart* you.</p>

<p>I'm a foal for these pun fests.</p>]]>

         <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Dr Horsible:</em><br />
A stallion must run<br />
Where a stallion must run<br />
Don't join the race<br />
If you can't be number one.</p>

<p>All that matters<br />
Taking matters firmly by the bit<br />
Soon I'll control everything<br />
And to your reins submit</p>

<p><em>Captain Hammer:</em><br />
Slow down, everyone,<br />
Drop out of the race<br />
Let the winner by<br />
I will set the pace.</p>

<p>Yes, Captain Hammer's here<br />
Mane flowing as I trot<br />
The race needs a star, and I'm so hot.</p>

<p>A stallion must run where a stallion must run<br />
It seems the real race has only just begun<br />
The only way to lose is if we don't finish tied<br />
So I'll slow up and we'll go side by side.<br />

<p>I see this conversation is quite stable, so I won't muck it up with any more bad puns. Of course, I was a groom before I went to vet school, so I've kicked back with the galloping punsters before. Some of my puns could give you the heaves, while other will just leave you saying "HAY!".</p>

<p>Wither you agree, let's take a poll: all those in favor of dumping this topic raise their right ears. Don't twitch, or you'll be sorry.  </p>]]>
