subject: Can I have a pony?

All my life, I've wanted a pony. Since early childhood, walking in the hills among the oak trees of southern California, I noticed others riding ponies and thought how wonderful it must be to have a pony, to sit astride such a delightful animal, reins in hand, and travel where I chose. As I grew older, many of my friends got ponies and offered me a ride, but I always refused, knowing that some day, I'd have my own.

I am still waiting for that day, Shiva, and just noticed that requests for pets must be approved by you.

Shiva, may I have a pony?

Thank you.

Today, this appeared on our desks. A kind of tabula rasa of a My Little Pony. There are markers to customize them with whatever colors you want, but I like the blank white.



Now, if you'll excuse me, these manes don't brush themselves.
