KIKO DAY SPECIAL

Kiko Lake
by Shadowbird97

There’s a gem within a sleeping volcano,
The treasure’s name is Kiko Lake,
Welcome to the place of sunshine,
Where corals grow and Kikos play.

Step right in and look at the sights:
Petite little stores with treats galore.
Rock sticks, lollies, and popcorn balls,
Seashells will leave you wanting more!

The crystal-blue water hides a secret:
A hidden community of magnificence...
Where Kikos live and Kikos tend
To coveted homes of brilliance.

If you don’t like wetness, that’s okay,
For the glass-bottomed boats are great.
View coral sculptures from high above,
With qualified tour guides on any date.

After your trip, stop by Coral Creations,
Pick up some local Neohome pieces.
Let the dashing decor entrance you,
For they will fit anywhere with ease.

If you haven’t been there, visit now!
Take advantage of this merry Kiko Day,
And if you’ve been there once already
It can’t hurt to return for some extra play.

So, enjoy the festivities of the season,
Grab some friends and head on down,
For, within this ancient, dormant volcano
Lies a jewel worth more than crowns.

Pros And Cons Of Life As A Garlic Kiko
by Inland

Life as a garlic Kiko,
life as a living food,
it sure has its downsides,
but it has some good sides, too!

Listen up and listen well,
and maybe you will see,
how being a ball of garlic
will offer you some glee.

If ever you get hungry
and only have some plain old bread,
you can spice it up right quickly,
you just have to use your head.

You can always sleep in peace,
so put your fears to rest;
vampires cannot harm you,
laugh at those sharp-toothed pests!

Of course, there are some risks,
there are those who will try to eat you,
but you'll always be in shape
from all the running you will do.

These are the pros and cons of
life as a garlic Kiko, and I say 
gain respect for garlic Kikos
on this happy Kiko Day!

We've got treats aplenty,

Serene undersea styles,
About our glass-bottom boat tours, inquire!

At only placing 14th in this AC, boo.)

So, make it your current goal

And leave a smile on your face!

The Order's Kiko Wizard
by Sugarypixiestix2

He was initiated by Rasala the Bright,
after he'd sworn to defend the light.
Signing his name on the sacred scroll --
as a wizard, this was his life's goal.

From then on he worked day and night,
creating new spells to prove his might.
Proudly wearing his pointy hat and robe,
collecting herbs from around the globe.

His all-time idol is Ganfrey the Good;
he even moved into his neighbourhood.
Hoping one day to be his apprentice,
and if he does it shall be momentous.

Diving in the sea, he doesn't complain.
As a Kiko, water is his natural domain.
Retrieving pouches filled with powder,
which helps you shout spells louder.

Honouring the Order of the Red Erisim,
he battles while singing their hymn.
Never shall he join another faction,
nor ever opt to back down from action.

The Chocolate Factory!
by Dr_tomoe

Candy, chocolate, and
sweets galore.
Licorice, taffies,
and so much more!

A factory of chocolate,
of delicious sweet treats,
run by a shopkeeper that
everyone wants to meet.

A Kiko in a top hat,
a vest, and a cane...
one visit to his shop and
you'll never be the same!

Chocolates of all flavors,
in dark, milk, and white.
All of the candy everywhere
is surely quite the sight!

With so many treats to have,
it should come as no surprise,
that all the best chocolates
are considered quite the prize.

The rarest chocolates,
perhaps made by the Kiko himself,
show up, on occasion,
hidden on the shelves.

With such decadent sweets to be had,
it should come as no surprise,
that this is one of the most popular stores
for those that like to restock to hide!

The Ballad Of Captain Dread
by Helpfuldan

One must understand that 
The life of a pirate is not rosy,
That the booty is the aim,
It's not simple, not cosy.

Life as a skeleton Kiko 
Is one that can be quite queasy,
No friends, no hope, no pleasure...
I promise it's not easy.

And having spent my life 
Committing pillaging and extortion,
To be ripped out from my seat,
Without any good caution.

I swear down on you Scarblade, 
I do not respect you or your men,
You had better be wary,
For I shall see that you end.

For those that don't understand 
My words of serious intent,
I shall now discuss the truth,
It shall no longer be bent.

In 2005, I was king 
Of the oceans and the seas,
For I ruined Maraqua...
It was most certainly me.

But, in an evil twist of events 
(For once not devised by me),
A bad captain was summoned,
By those they call "TNT."

It was my dream to be in a plot 
Of great destruction, great wrecking,
But I was left on the side,
The Curse plot was beginning.

And to this day I have wondered 
Why I was not chosen myself?
So, I promise this to you,
And to Scarblade and all else.

That the Dread of this Captain 
Will be back to get you, TNT,
I have not yet had my day...
I warn you that you should flee.

My New Plushie Kiko
by Indulgences

I recently picked up a 'pet,
A plushie Kiko pal.
I had to labor long and hard
To heal her poor morale!

Nobody wanted her for years.
She sat on someone's side,
Collecting dust and crying hard,
With no one to confide.

Embracing my new Kiko pal,
I quickly claimed her self.
I never would abandon her,
Nor toss her on a shelf!

I took her with me everywhere.
We went to parks and ponds,
And slowly she became more brave...
Her sundry fears were gone!

She learned to smile, to speak, and laugh.
She learned to relish life!
She now takes joy in every day,
And doesn't suffer strife!

I'm glad I helped my Kiko 'pet
Regain her self-respect.
I'll never say a harmful thing,
Nor hurt her with neglect!

Tubular Kiko Poem
by Heartsinasyrup

Kavi's racing all around,
All around, all around,
Kavi's going all the way down
Down the Kiko Lake!

He's orange, just like the sun,
Like the sun, like the sun,
Kavi's dancing in his tube
While having some fun!

There's some bad Kikos there,
Kikos here, here and there,
Kavi's going on a stream,
Shooting him is not that fair!

The lake right now is not so clean,
Not so clean, not so clean,
Kavi is starting to help
Before some Kikos scream!

Kavi's getting there somehow,
There somehow, who knows how?
His tube is spinning now,
He's applauded by the crowd!

All joy we've got on Kiko Lake,
Kiko Lake, Kiko Lake,
Let's all share it on the beach
For Kavi's sake!

There's no place like our lake,
Like our lake, like our lake,
That's where all the Kikos take
Their baths, under the sun....

Kiko Candy Floss
by Sheynacruz

"One candy brand to rule them all."
Now what could that possibly be?
I kid you not -- it does exist, and
Once you try it, you'll thank me.

Forget your flavored Brucicles...
Who cares about those gummy rats?
Enough of boring old Chia pops --
I've found the very best, and that's...

Kiko candy floss! It comes
In eight fruity varieties.
Made with highest grade purees
Of Kiko Lake fruits and berries.

Each fluffy, airy piece of floss
Is wrapped in plastic crisp and clear,
Fashioned into tiny Kikos,
These are sure to bring you cheer.

But what makes Kiko floss unique
Is its extraordinary flavor,
A mélange of fruit and sugar
Leaves you wanting more to savor.

It's no wonder Kiko floss is
Loved by 'pets both old and young,
So buy yours now and sample heaven
As it melts upon your tongue....
