Ogrin Day Special!

Ogrin Origins
by kayahtik

Whence came the Ogrin?
A curious Neopian may ask. 
Who, what, where, when, why? 
Finding the answers is quite a task. 

To tell the honest truth,
No one can really say.
Wherever they came from,
Ogrins are here to stay. 

For the charm of their presence
We are always grateful.
Although sometimes timid or shy,
An Ogrin friend is always faithful.

Their curiosity is unending,
And Ogrins often dare to seek
Answers to those burning questions
That others merely speak. 

If you still wonder where they’re from,
An Ogrin is the one to ask. 
The rest of us have no idea,
But they’re more than up to the task. 

Happy Ogrin Day!

The Ogrins in the Prairies
by miraday

I tried to wish it away—
The feeling of containment.
I envied the life of Ogrins,
Thinking it could be different.

I thought they’d be happier,
Living carefree and fully content.
I’d compare my life to theirs,
But it’d only stoke resentment.

Well, life’s like the Ogrins in the prairies;
Dangerous at times but always free.
A herd roaming with their liberties,
Sometimes I wish that’d be me.

I tried to self alter any way,
The greener grass on their side.
I tried to change my mindset,
Though Ogrins keep their stripes.

But life’s like the Ogrins in the prairies;
Tough and weathered by the winds.
They have their struggles like we all do,
I wish it’d be easy for them, too.

I came to my own acceptance,
Distanced myself each day.
No matter how much I wished,
The feeling never goes away.

Yeah, life’s like the Ogrins in the prairies;
We each endure our own challenges.
It may look one way to the outsiders;
But we all grow with time’s passage.

Ode to Coco Metrone
by trubiekatie

I know exactly what you’re thinking –
Why are we talking about the Cup already?
It’s Celebrating, not Relaxing!
But for this upcoming year, I am ready.

I want to honour a legendary player,
Since it happens to be Ogrin Day today.
She worked night and day for her big break;
Member of Krawk Island when she plays.

Of course, I am referencing Coco Metrone!
That spotted Ogrin with so much talent.
Quick on the field, passing to her team,
Some call her playing style gallant.

I wonder what was Kreludor thinking, 
When they traded a valuable player like her.
Krawk Island took her in a heartbeat,
In Year 15, we saw the transfer.

Second place finish? Year 12.
Rookie of the Year? Runner-up.
But, the biggest glory came Year 14,
When with Kreludor, she won the Cup!

Here’s to you, Coco Metrone,
Celebrating you on this Ogrin Day.
As a Krawk Island supporter,
I can’t wait to see you play!

Ogrin of Eventide
by anjie

Awash the shades of twilight blend,
Across pelt flecked with light.
From golden tone to shadowed blue,
And crimson, shining bright.

Upon the form of Ogrin, proud,
Wide gaze, dual orbs o’ blue.
A creature of the falling dusk,
Of brilliant evening hue.

View in awe, if view you will,
The tufts of cobalt ear.
Like dying flames, the crimson shade,
Down Ogrin’s limbs do sear.

Like night itself, a falling dream,
Doth creature tread so soft.
A dream of Eventide, alight,
With Ogrin head, aloft.

Starlight speckles creature’s coat,
The rarest vision, seen.
The creature made of evening’s light,
Light with the twilight sheen.

The Mutant Ogrin's Putridness
by _brainchild_

There's a potion meant to turn
Your pet into a beast
Which surely makes all stomachs turn---
It's fearsome, in the least!

A Mutant Ogrin, product of
A brew so singly-eyed,
Shall rampage o'er the streets. He shoves
The other pets aside.

The creature, with its roar so fierce
Scares all who come across
Its gaze. All souls the beast will pierce,
Emotions at a loss.

So, if you see a brute of hues
So varied, run and bail!
The few who stop to stare and muse
Won't live to tell the tale.

Top Chop’s Ogrin Master
by martia_elior

Martial arts are very appreciated in Shenkuu,
And people not interested in them are few.
Among the cloudy, and misty mountains
A peculiar school can be found by the ones
Who want to learn how to perfectly slice
A wooden board in a snap, through exercise.
The master of this mystic art is an elderly,
Blind Ogrin; do not judge him by what you see,
He’s better than what he seems at first sight.
He will guide you with his voice to foresight
When it’s the best moment to hit the board;
Follow his suggestions, or you’ll be floored!
Patience, timing and dedication are the keys,
You also have to watch out for Vernaxes:
If you hit the wood while one is around,
You cannot go forward for the next round.
So, if you’d like to become a Top Chop ace,
Listen to the Ogrin Master, in the first place.
Then, practice daily! Training is important,
If you want to sieze the perfect instant.

The restless Ogrin
by orlytheowl

Louis was the name of an athletic Ogrin
The things he loved most was to run and to spin
He liked it so much, that he couldn't stand still
His days where with movement and actitivity filled 

One day Louis came to age
School was to be started, and it filled him with rage
Because how was he suppose to sit by a desk?
To stay still a whole day was almost grotesque

His parents tried to prepare him
But listening to them created twitches in his limbs
Why did it had to take so long?
He lost his patience, and forgot to stay strong

So the day came, and he was put to the test
Could he endure this heavy quest?
No wonder the challenge was a bit too grand
And he couldn't control his mouth or his hand

So Louis got close with the chiefs at school
In fact the principial was kind of cool
She understood his troubles and knew
That being restless at school is nothing new

So they set up a program that did help a lot
Now he doesn't need to in class splat a sloth
Because he is allowed to the school run around
Every half hour and now he doesn't feel bound!

Ogrin Day!
by sk8tergirl503

Ogrins trot through Neopia, head held high in the air.
They venture off to see the lands, to meet other pets most fair.

And when they tire, they need to rest and so they find a place.
In the woods where they feel at home, and where there is lots of space.

And in the day when they choose to start,
Their adventure then awaits.
Ogrins in Neopia do their part,
And in the winter, they don their skates!

For their special day is in the cold,
After Christmas, oh so bold.

In the midst of celebrations, Ogrins rejoice!
As the startlight celebrates, Ogrins share their voice!

Punk Ogrin Outfit
by indulgences

This outfit is for rebel pets
Who like to fight the norm.
It screams with disobedience.
It simply won’t conform!

The Shirt is scarlet red in hue,
So dark and bold and fierce.
A Nose Ring decorates the face,
Through nostril that is pierced.

The Shoes are strapped with laces black,
And add combative flair.
The Trousers are a charcoal grey,
So tattered and threadbare.

The Jacket’s black, with scruffy sleeves
That surely aren’t refined.
It signals that its owner has
A strong, defiant mind.

The Wrist Bands are the final touch
To this audacious look.
They’re spattered with some silver studs,
And decorate each foot.

The Punk look is a stunning thing
For every Ogrin who
Defies the normal, commonplace,
And to its self stays true!

Please buy this outfit for your pet!
It’s Ogrin Day today!
Your pet deserves a brand new look
To celebrate this day!
