"They Promised Me Ponies" (reference?)

[Lord Xenu]

[FABF21] They Promised Me Ponies by Lisa Simpson (Lisa's unfinished novel)

Is this an allusion to a popular fiction or non-fiction title? It has been
awhile since college lit.

:-)

Yours in Jeebus,

Lord Xenu
Your Friendly Galactic Overseer

"The Future isn't what it used to be: Flying Cars! They promised me flying
cars! "???
I don't remember who wrote that, but it is what I thought of, when I saw
Lisa's title.

I think Fry said that in Futurama, allthough I'm not sure about the "flying
cars" bit. Besides it'd probably postdate Lisa's quote anyway.
Google suggests a refund:

Avery Brooks said it in an IBM commercial a few years back. Avery
Brooks? He was "Hawk" on "Spenser", and "Sisko" on "Star Trek Deep
Space 9".
