#### cowsay reimplemention for ponies

Ponysay displays an image of a My Little Pony pony saying a message provided
by the user in a terminal, or a quote from the show My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic (MLP:FiM).
Historically ponysay was a wrapper for cowsay, but has since version 2.1
become an independent reimplementation of cowsay.

Basic usage:

`ponysay [option...] [message]`

`ponysay.ponythink [option...] [message]`
