Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 31, 2017

She wore shoes since the roller skates. Those do count, right?

I once owned rechargeable LED shoes (US size 9).

You need help, Marigold!

I am sparklier, sparklier than thou

Take them off Marigold. You look much better without them.

Yes, yes you are.

Look at the bright side Phoebe, you’re not seeing eye to horn with an angry unicorn.

Why do sparkly unicorn shoes even exist?

“That line should be “I am whinnying!”

Wonder if Lord Splendid Humility wears the kind of shoes that you have to pound in with nails……..

That’s an extremely clever bit of social commentary. (…or maybe I’m just reading way too much into it.) Beautiful as always in any case. Thanks.

Well, Marigold does have four sparkly shoes, as opposed to only two for Phoebe. So, based on numbers, Marigold’s last statement is accurate.

(Sorry, Phoebe.)

I guess unicorns could wear horseshoes:

Rumplemeyer’s Horseshoes

Are the best you can use

What so proudly he nailed

Onto all kinds of horses

Whose broad backs and bright eyes

As they smile in their stalls

Give proof through the night

That they wear Rumplemeyer’s

Ask the horse who owns one

He’ll say, "Son of a gun

Rumplemeyer’s Horseshoes

Are, by me, number one"

That’s Rumplemeyer’s Horseshoes

Spelled R-U-M-P-L-E-Meyer’s

Twenty-seven Chestnut Street

Ask for Harry or Dave
