Or torn! Or thorn! Or Scorn. Yeah, "scorn" is a good one.
The one who loves magic
Can't make use of her horn
1-While the skill of the proud one
Is now motive of scorn
2-The most precious of manes
Would now look better shorn
3-Her sweet tune now vanished
With her new new voice she mourns
4-This one couldn't stop talking
Now she can't even warn
5-The one most dependable
as helpless as a newborn
Don't push me! This is not my native language.

You should also learn some grbasmlkuas. It's spoken through your armpit and written by smashing your head on a keyboard. Some words that rhyime with horn in ñsdglsdlña (yes, it's written differently every time, try to keep up please, it's not that hard!) are kasmdflorn, kljlllllllllllkjorn, aslñdñlñorn and schwarzenegger.
The one with the horn...
...should no get into porn.
...will have a new one torn.
...should eat creamed corn.
...a condom should have worm.
Oh wait, you said nothing USEFUL. Carry on.

I LOL because of the first entry being labeled "not useful". :)
Which is exactly what you already knew before they showed up. For story time today, tell about an NPC who is full of information and/or exposition that you already knew.
In the last D&D campaign I was running, there was an NPC pegasus named Lucky who was "Ms As You Already Know". Captain of the USS Obvious and had been twice decorated with the purple heart of "I Already Knew That".
She did have her uses though-- If the PCs needed a summary of anything already said and done she was the go to pony for it. Lucky even remembers any part of a dungeon she saw. Eidetic Memory FTW!

she's the living embodiment of the trope.

There was one GURPS modern conspiracy campaign where one PC was an ex-pro-wrestler who always named every wrestling move he was about to do. The fun was that there was a train/subway motif to the names:
Elbow Junction
Gap Minder
Blue Line
Caboose Pin
His favorite finishing move was "Freight Train", a charging attack that leads into a flying kick. And since fights took place on hard concrete streets instead of softer ring mats, these moves HURT. :D

If you know that from experience, Digo, it's probably time to dial the LARPing down a notch.
Ah, so no props for the next mission where we sneak into a baseball game? :3
No, that one earns you points. It certainly beats the heck out of the guy that chose his game master over his girlfriend when he earned tickets for two to Paris, so they take accurate notes in preparation for future game events.
The pony who loves magic gets a new horn,
one to bring laughter, derision and scorn,
such a sad fate for my little unicorn.

The obvious thing is to order a sacred test. The test is that all the castle walls be lined with woven straw, and all the floors be paved with wood and resin. The moat is filled with resin, sap, pine needles, pine cones, and pine trees. Then I barricade the doors, sabotage the drawbridge, and set fire to the moat. And thus, with the royal scribe by my side, I decree that whoever survives for six weeks inside the castle will be named king.
Yup. Such great wisdom for one so young.
...And so the guy that arrives late for the test, after the fire has died down, wins?
Potion of Glibness + Bard + Max Skill Ranks in Bluff = A minimum DC of 20 (after a -20 adjustemt for an unbelievable tale) if I'm level 1 and roll a 2, and it only goes higher from there. Cloak of Charisma + Eagles Splendor to send it even higher, and perhaps some "found ancient scrolls" that "reveal the Trial" to negate (or at least reduce) the penalty for absurdity can easily send the DC into the 50s...at level 1. Since I'd probably be a much higher level than that if I am playing kingmaker, I can get into the 80s before I'm even level 15.
If you can get that build just right, you can tell the evil lich that he is actually a yellow footed rock wallaby, and he'll go hopping off to nibble some roots.
Well, the word unicorn comes from "one horn" so they would probably complain just like the no/know thing...
Omnibus.
Metaphor.
Gestalt.
You brilliant hand-and-a-half. You deliberately set us up with a straight line in your opening entry. I'll be the spawn of Lassie. Well played.

I must admit, it's almost tragic,
A wizard who can't work her magic,
For that requires a sturdy horn,
The Achilles' heel of a unicorn.

I once played with a bard who only spoke in iambic pentameter. So of course the entire group and the DM teamed up to sabotage that. I think he lasted two sessions before cracking which was impressive all things considered.
Yeah, but look at it this way. If you hadn't cracked within a fortnight, there's a good chance they would have.
Some players live to only do just that. >_>
One in our group has admitted several times he only builds characters to try and break the game mechanics. Thankfully, he's not very good at that and the mechanics always gets him first.

My response for them has always been, "Yes, congratulations, you have discovered the secret formula that breaks the game. Now we're going to pretend that never happened."
The ones that walk are never missed.

Also, I keep feeling like the word "that" should be thrown in before the pronoun in question.
I'm pretty sure she meant "I", in context of "this new data doesn't bring me any closer to a cure".
Having new guinea pigs for potential cure potions, though, does. Also having Twilight available for Aid Another attempts when formulating the cure may help.

Y'know...I can only look at the third panel here and think one simple phrase:
"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!"
"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!"
Like this?

Rhyming words with homophones is almost as fun as rhyming them with homographs:
If I wish to go fast,
It seems I must fast,
To reach the next level,
My weight I must level.

Shorn, Torn, Born, Worn, Gorn, Porn, Norn, Corn, Scorn, Xorn... ;)
Actually, it was originally formulated by James Nicoll on usenet (this is the same person who helped come up with the "Nicoll-Dyson Laser" planet-melting weapon).
Ye wiki has more information.

This. For no apparent reason.
When a friend of mine first read that about twenty-five years ago, he got a chuckle out of it, then handed it over to his dyslexic roommate.
With an annoyed look, the roommate said, "'Dyslexics of the world unite.' What's so funny about this?"

Yeah. My mother has a hard time with subtitles because of it. On the other hand, she and the friend I just mentioned where two of the most voracious readers I've ever met. It was just a pain trying to decipher notes from him.
Adorn, Scorn, Forsworn, Torn, Gorn (if we go startrek), Born, Forlorn.
Such wonderful things they are.

For you, with your pride in a magical horn,
right now it's as useful as boiled sweet corn.

Less useful. You could at least eat the corn, preferably as a side dish.
Possible one from Guest: For you, with your pride in a magical horn, spots its beauty it did adorn?
Where magic's use came from a horn, now now to hopeless hooves you must forlorn.
I just don't know.

"The powerful wizard,
It messed with her horn,
The glamorous seamstress,
she needs to be shorn"?

I find it helps if you find the word you WANT to say and then look that word up in a thesaurus for a word that rhymes with what you want. For example, if I want to say "The night is dark and the stars are ominous...." Ominous has dismal as a synonym. Not exactly what I mean but still paints a picture I can work with. So "The night is dark, the stars' sneer dismal." And so we find that rhyming becomes trivial- a trick of the tongue and a touch of the formative thought. No need to be distraught, words are easily wrought.
Actually if you want a really bad one try to rhyme Silver. Even Orange has more words than that.
And yes Door Hinge is the primary Rhyme with orange.

Oops forgot this.
"So far, my dear Sparkle,
I believe it is not so.
There's nothing i've said
I don't already know."
The fan fic i am writing has a great many zebras so i do this a lot.

Fun fact: Did you know that almost nothing useful rhymes with horn?
