NEOPETS BIRTHDAY SPECIAL

The Surprise Party
By Velveteen

Tell me that you remembered
to pick up the cakes.
And to purchase balloons
for all of our sakes.

You strung up the banner?
Good, that's all in place.
Your Warf stole the streamers?
Well, you'd better give chase.

THESE are the party hats?
What? No, I'm not highly strung!
It just seems that you made them
of three-month-old DUNG!

Who drank the clamade?
You'd better own up.
Now we're all out of drinks!
They'll have to share just one cup.

Quick! I hear footsteps!
Everyone run and hide.
Hey! I can still see your tail
poking out from the side.

Everybody, all ready?
Turn the lights off, let's go!
*click* Oh, WHY didn't you tell me
your Petpet can glow?

Shh! Keep your voice down!
We don't want them to hear!
No hiccups, no giggling!
Just get ready to cheer.

One, two, three, everybody:
"SURPRISE!"
Happy birthday, dear Neopets!
Eight years of us, guys!

Have a hat, grab some cake.
Have a dance, have a ball!
Have I gone to much trouble?
No...no trouble at all!

Neopets Birthday
By Wicked_summer

Neopia is another year older,
The cliffs, the seas, the woods that moulder,
The aquatic city and city of steel,
So many things, to see and to feel.

Neopia's birthday is right now, you see;
A day of rejoicing, for you and for me.
Everyone smiles when they pass on the street
Today is our bithday, a whole worldwide treat.

Today is our birthday, right now, today;
Shopkeepers laugh when you ask what to pay;
They give you things free, they give gifts so fine;
Today, the Kitchen's not alone with a line.

Today is our birthday, it is no lie;
Slices of cake will fall from the sky;
Glomps will be traded, cheerful snowballs thrown,
The Skeith banker will smile as you ask for a loan.

Because today is our birthday,
All of us, now,
From the biggest Lupe to the littlest Kau.

Happy Birthday!

A Neopets Birthday Greeting
By Pltjess

Though words exist they fail to come to me,
I lack the means to say the things I feel
Yet searching through Neopian lands I see
A world that saves, a place I'm sure will heal.

Each pet requires care and some concern,
First health, then food, then mood I must address.
Then to the news to see what I might learn,
Then off again to check my shop's success.

Escape from strife and care is what I find
When I enter this place of peace and bliss.
Pain and woe all leave my troubled mind--
The world is better that Neopets exists.

So on this day a birthday wish I send,
Happy Birthday to a dear and treasured friend!

Neopets Birthday!
By Xx_apple_x_berry_xx

Today is Thursday,
And it's Neopets' birthday!
There are so many things to prepare...
It's a real nightmare here!

First, let's make a cake.
Shake the flour,
Mix the butter...
It'll be tasty enough to make you shudder!

Pets, faeries, and even villains,
Sisters and brothers are all here!
Now we can celebrate
Because Neopets is eight!

My poem must come to the end,
But please don't forget
To wish so many good things
To the whole Neopets team!
