So, a couple days ago, Sethisto challenged Equestria Daily readers to create song lyrics about a villain from My Little Pony. He went on to suggest that folks should look up instrumental songs on YouTube to write lyrics to, but by then I'd already decided to write my own song. Why not.
So, loosely interpreting 'villain' as 'antagonist', I am writing a song about Parasprites. It's in 7/8, and the lyrics are all written in haiku. What I have up is far from finished, but might give anyone who's interested an idea of what I'm thinking of doing with it. The haiku lyrics will click into a solid eighth note rhythm; five beats of one measure with three rests, then all seven beats, then five again plus three rests, then a measure rest. I'm also working on a dubstep (sorta) feeling break, and I'll be adding a chorus somewhere.

Lyrics (what I have so far):
Hey, what's over there
What is that? It's really cute
Oh, and hungry, too!
Aw, isn't it sweet?
Look at those big, emerald eyes
What? Now there are two?
We're harmless at first
No; we're just innocuous
Little parasprites
We're flitting about
You'd say we're adorable
And you would be right
We are all your friends
Even though we're many now
Many times the fun
All of a sudden
We're a massive swarm now, and
You had better run
We are worse than a
Horde of flying tribbles and
This is tasty cake
We are everywhere
Fast as you could blink an eye
Food storeroom doors break
