YAY SOMEONE GOT IT ON THEIR OWN!
Without me making the answer known. :D

An obscure reference by my hand,
This joke do you not understand?

It hints at someone's nom de plume,
Whose books taught words without schoolhouse gloom.

Or rather, hints his real name,
I screwed that up, I am ashamed .x

Clever fellow, have an orange.
I want you to know... uhm... dang.

doorhinge! lozenge!

i'm lost.

probably not.. although I have gone and watched all but 2 of the new series episodes, and remember the 1980s show, vaguely.

I'm still Lost.

"Now a nervous hunch is telling you you could be lost,
As it leads you down a path you have already crossed."

"But your journey's just begun, and so on you go,
To the left? To the right? Oh you just don't know~"

"You've got brains in your head and feet in your shoes,
So steer yourself any direction you choose!"

"You're on your own, you know what you know,
Don't worry about how fast or how slow,
Be certain you step with caution and tact,
Coz life is a great big balancing act
And will you succeed? You will yes indeed!
Ninety-eight and three quarters percent guaranteed!
Set your hunches free to wander and follow them where they roam,
And follow your hunch, follow your hunch, follow it home!"

you've effectively hurt my brain, snap - and considering the people I deal with at work, that's difficult to do. O.o

:v

Do you suggest that Zecora is akin
to a gazelle schooled in medicine?

Maybe the show needs more zebras so we can find out of this is true or not.

"Gazelle?" I thought. "Now who might that be?"
I read the comments, then it came to me.

You'll find him too; just think some more.
But just in case, I call a truce;
We'd rather you not seek reprisal.

Ted?
What, did Zecora listen to TEDtalks? what?
