The Pony

Hi how you doing I’m doing fine, how about you I’m okay, well I’m not really Go on tell me about it, that’s what us ex’s are for. It’s Joe. Joe, that’ll be my replacement. He doesn’t seem to want to do it. When you say do it, do we mean sex. Yes, strange isn’t it. I don’t know, I don’t know Joe. He’s a man, what is there to know. Why is he not chasing you around the house. I don’t know, what happened to us. You dumped me. I know, but why. Let me see now, oh yeah, you said you wanted a ring, marriage, children, house, and a pony. I said I didn’t like ponies, you said that’s the last straw. I said, exactly, do you know how much straw costs. You said, shut up about the straw. I said, where would we put a pony. You said, shut the feck up about the pony, shut the feck up about the straw. Do you want to marry me or not? I sort of got lost for words, and by the time I got round to saying I would love to marry you, you were away with Joe. You’re so full of crap, you ran a mile, actually, you and that pony have a lot in common, you’re both mule-headed. You’re still with Joe, did he give you a pony. No, he gave me something else. Frustration It’s not all about sex you know, he’s saving himself. That’ll be the biggest coming this year then. I don’t know why I phoned you, you do my head in. You need to borrow me till Joe’s ready. No, I don’t, celibacy is the in thing now. Well, in that case, I just want to congratulate on your resolve. Are you seeing anyone. No, I’m going through a monking phase at the moment, new habit. So we could meet as friends then. I don’t see why not, a friend in need is a friend in need. I think that’s a friend indeed. Indeed it is friend. Should I bring a bottle round. That would be a friendly thing to do. You won’t mention Ponies will you. I won’t mention Ponies. Okay, I’ll bring Joe with me. What. I need to send him back, the post office is on the way. Ha ha, nice one.

Eventually compromised on a timeshare elephant. Then she went to Africa to be with it. Strange girl.

Your poem effectively uses humour, irony, and playful language to explore the aftermath of a breakup, with a focus on absurd details and unexpected twists. The casual tone and relatable scenarios make it an amusing and entertaining piece..
