one trick pony

Here’s the thing about one trick ponies:

For most of us, the near existence of a pony is itself a phenomenon. We probably couldn’t pick a pony from a crowd full of horses, but we’d sure as hell spot it if it was in our back yard, or in the back seat of our car.

And then—imagine—not only is it a real life pony, but the pony knows a trick? 

A real honest-to-god trained pony?

I doubt we’d care to discover the pony only knew one trick. Or how good the trick was.

We’d just be amazed it was here at all.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
