Igloo Garage Sale
By Pink_panther225

On top of Terror Mountain there is a small igloo.
Inside live two Chias, one yellow one blue.
Yearning for a tropical getaway
They must clean out their igloo
Or else they are here to stay

The pack rats could not let go
Of their vacation dreams
But if they did not do something
They would never leave, or so it seems
So the Chias held a giant garage sale
What do they have in here?
Pancakes, plushies... is that a whale?!

So many items, so many things!
The price is so cheap, but it's fit for the kings!
The word got out quickly about this insane sale
Many people came,
But there were always more items
Mika never fails!

Maybe one day their task will be done
So that they may have fun and bask in the sun!
Terror Mountain will be a sad place
When that day comes,
But until then get to the garage sale!
Hurry, RUN!

Turdles
By Big_e_hauck

Stinky was a fast little Turdle,
But odds of 3:1 made bettors' blood curdle,
That's not much of a win,
But it at least makes us grin,
When we see him smash into a hurdle.

Young Poopy was a sneaky competitor,
And the other Turdles
Were constantly sweatin' her,
They called her a cheat,
'Cause they couldn't compete,
But her ticketholders spoiled and petted her.

Number Three was Smelly,
From the isle of Mysteries
I'm afraid he was terribly obese,
He bumped into the others,
All his sisters and brothers,
They said, "Diet, and give us some peace!"

Squelchy the Turdle was tired,
And always on the verge of getting fired,
Always falling asleep.
Without counting no sheep,
So Nutty said, "Drink NeoCola and get wired!"

Oh yes Nutty was exactly this,
Crazy-kooky with something amiss,
Always a mad dash for the end,
But odds much higher than her friends,
For Number Five is not likely to finish.

My neighbor, The Tiki Tack Man.
By The_demented_pixie

My pets were playing ball one day,
on our little lawn,
and I was sitting in a chair,
stifling a yawn.
When suddenly, to my dismay,
the ball just up and flew away,
into the yard of our neighbor
(The Tiki Tack Man).

Peeking over the fence to see,
my Shoyru saw it behind a tree,
so she fluttered over to retrieve,
but sadly she had to leave
(It seems he doesn't like trespassers).

He tossed her back to our side,
his anger he just could not hide,
so all but I did flee inside
(He was annoying, and I
Just couldn't stand him anymore!).

"Excuse me, sir," I tried to be polite,
"but Tiki Man, I don't want a fight
my pet just dropped her toy, you see."
Then her turned and looked at me,
and went back inside his house
(which was quite rude of him!).

This grudge went on for many days,
and in that one spot I remained,
yelling loud without a care,
as long as he kept that ball in there
(which was a good week,
and I was getting hungry!).

Finally, he came out one night,
and kicked that dumb ball out of sight.
My pets then thought up a plot,
so we waited till the days got hot,
and when he took off his mask
now, this is true...
we filled it up with superglue!

Modern Haiku
By Zorkfox

Neopets are great
They let you escape from work
With free games galore.

Neopian Times
The source of all great wisdom
Arrives in the mail.

Battledome is tough
But what were you going to do
Except play more games?

The Snowager sleeps
Far back in icy caverns
His treasure awaits.

Those who seek him out
May regret the adventure
His breath freezes them!

But lucky owners
Can escape with an item
For a cherished pet.

Using "words" only found on the menu.
Neopets dot com
Neomail, world, explore, chat
Games, shops, news, help, pet!

Match these to their locations!
Dark mountains tower
Above the frozen ocean
And whisper terror.

Brutal solar heat
The glare of light in the eyes
Water or mirage?

Roars from long ago
Echo across the plateau
And into jungle.

Far above the world
Flashing lights, no air, no sky
Choc'late eclair paste.

Volcano smolders
Your Neo-fu is the best
Generator? Bah!

Aisha's Boo Boo
By Ourtrinity

Upon a crystal rock she sat
Well, really... two (she was kinda fat)
A pretty Aisha, with tears that fell,
Down cheeks of blue, to a puddle that swelled.

"Little Aisha colored blue,
Tell me why you cry, 'boo hoo'?"
It was then with mine own eyes I saw,
Cradled to her chest, she held her paw.

"Oh, woe is me," she did portend,
"No one in Neopia will be my friend!"
"Not so!" said I with eyebrows raised,
"Oh, it's true" she said,
"I will tell you about my day."

With a sigh that sent her fur aquiver,
She extended her paw, and I saw the sliver!
"This I got this very morn',
While chasing a Wadjet into a bush of thorns.
I would hurt him not!" she went on to say,
"For all I wanted was to laugh and play."

A sigh escaped her furry lips,
Her ears (all four) drooped to her hips,
"I was pierced by this thorn, and let out a YELP,
But the Wadjet had gone
And did not stop to help."

"Oh my," I say and reach for my purse,
"I have something here to help you...
For, you see, I�m a nurse."
"Oh, thank you!" she cried,
Though she was a bit wary
Of the wiggling bag
On my back that I carried.

"Help you, I can" (cool, I sound like the Mystic!)
"Now give me your paw, and scoot so I can sit..."

We now shared the rock, that Aisha and me,
And I examined her paw, most expeditiously.

"I have just the thing!" I said, satisfied.
I grabbed my big bag and reached deep inside.
Out I pulled a Meowclops, all sputtering and mad,
"Now, why did you put me
In there, you stinking cad?!?"

"If I recall," I said, looking down my big nose,
"It was YOU who had your tail stuck in a hose!
So I helped you, and now you must help me,
I have this little friend over there, you see..."

His big eye blinked, and he was about to sass me,
But I moved over a bit, so he could see past me.
He spied the pretty Aisha,
Sitting next to my knee,
His eye met her two... wow, that makes three!

"My dear," he began,
As he smoothed down his fur,
"It would appear you need help,"
And he sat next to her.

He reached for her paw; so tender, so sweetly,
And pulled out that thorn ever so neatly.
"HURRAY!" cried the Aisha,
"it's much better, I'll say!"
And off they both ran, while laughing in play.

I stood up on the grass, and looked all around.
My Wadjet, I saw, was waiting on the ground.
"Mission accomplished?" he squeaked up at me.
I believe so, and I made to leave.

He jumped in my bag, and off we did start.
Feeling good, for the Aisha,
A thorn was gone from her heart.
