I think we all know who the "pony" of this song is....

david berman's heartfelt wailing laid on top of an extremely upbeat music... it's such a sore and beautiful song.

Get a load of this fuckin' tune, it's the best on the album.

it's about the Harding administration. The Robber Barons.

As a member of PETA, I am highly offended by any reference to depression concerning any animal, especially Ponys! I had a pony once, his name was Wilbur bc i read that book about Charlotte and that web which made me join PETA as an 8 year old but i couldnt write so my mom had to join me up but she likes meat and lied and never signed me up but i have been a member no matter what she did to screw up my childhood with her meat and leather shoes and uncaring heart and cheating ways
but anyway, the pony was totally cool and my mom with all her meat eating decided to sell wilbur, the pony and to the circus freaks when they came in the spring and they rode him around when they needed rides and i never saw him again.
this song makes me think of how depressed wilbur was when he had to leave me and join the circus and the meat eating freaks that work there.
im in therapy now and dont like this song.
Wilbur?
come back
