KIKO DAY SPECIAL

The (Enthusiastic!) Tourism Board Of Kiko Lake
by Kaylynn33333

Ah, Kiko Lake -- a most lovely town, this.
A thousand greetings to you, Sir or Miss!
Our population is kind 
And welcomes all tourists.
Kikos may have no legs, 
But their heart's where allure is --
Kind and friendly each day of their aquatic life.
This is a place that is quite free of strife!
Everyone here is laid-back 
And as joyous as Blumaroos.
Like glass bottom boats? 
We'll give you a cruise!
The underwater splendour 
Isn't as grand as Maraqua,
But if you have a sweet tooth, 
Our rock sticks will rock ya!
Or pick up a cupcake, some fudge, and a lolly --
It's hard to leave the candy store 
Not feeling jolly!
Stop by the furniture shop before you depart,
Here nature intersects with the carpenter's art.
Coral and seaweed form 
Strange tables and chairs!
Refurnish your home -- 
Ground floor and upstairs.
One further place you should 
Include in your stay:
The Colouring Pages are a great place to play!
Grab your paints, markers, 
Crayons and what-have-ya,
And recreate local scenes 
To recall with nostalgia.
All in all, we quite hope 
Your visit here was splendid.
Start planning another, 
Now that this one has ended!

Oh, Helpful Cleaning Robot Kiko
by Mamasimios

Oh, Helpful Cleaning Robot Kiko,
How did I live before you?
You make my world a brighter place,
And, oh, how I adore you!

Everywhere I chance to step
Within my Neohome,
There you are in front of me,
With a pail of sudsy foam

The bucket held aloft and safe,
Never a scratch upon my tiles,
With soapy brush you scrub the floors,
Your face cheerful with smiles

With whirring blades you float about,
A wonder of robotics,
The flashing lights and blinking eyes:
The effect can be hypnotic

My biggest fear is all that water
May lead to rust, short circuits,
But I could use you as a trash can,
So I suppose that's not quite worthless

Oh, Helpful Cleaning Robot Kiko,
You really are a catch,
Of all the cleaners I have known,
You are my Kiko match!

Rhee Solters, Top Defender
by Alagfalaswen

While clumsier than a Yooyu
And almost quite as wee,
There's none as tenacious as the
Lost Desert's Kiko, Rhee.

She may not be the fastest
While dashing 'cross the field,
Once she is in position
She will rarely yield

To clever stunts or tricks
That might distract the others;
Your silly plays and baseless moves
Won't budge our Rhee Solters.

Good luck trying to score a goal
Or getting past this Kiko;
It's safe to say you won't succeed,
and fans are glad to say so.

So, here's a cheer for such a dear,
Whose smiles are hard to miss;
For Rhee, whose skills and passion are
much larger than she is!

My Pomanna Plushie
by Agedbeauty

My Pomanna Plushie
Is my very best friend.
We go everywhere together, 
Friends until the end!

Sure, the real Pomanna
Is just a little bit crazy,
But if I judged my plushie that way
I’d be just a little bit lazy!

Yes, my elderly Kiko ploosh
Has a doppelganger I’d not like to meet,
But unlike her Neoquest counterpart,
My Pomanna Plushie is sweet.

From the bandage on her forehead
To her threadbare tufts of hair,
I love my Pomanna Plushie,
And I know for me she’ll always be there!

The Kiko Lake
by Jokerless

Calm waters mask busy life below
Atop, on the shore, tourist crowds grow
Most seek a glass bottom boat tour
So they may view the lake floor

Lowermost among the aquatic expanse
A simple village stands at first glance
Closer scrutiny does reveal more --
There is plenty else to explore!

Gardens of seaweed and coral shimmer
Streets are filled with many a swimmer
Strange creatures glide through blue
Deep amidst clear depths excitement brews

For those who crave sweet candy
Or need water-proof furniture handy
Look no further than the beach above;
Two shops have everything you'd love

Before you wave the lake goodbye
Perhaps give one last dip a try?
Embrace warm seasons of sunny bliss
Once gone, it's memories will be missed

The Kiko Explorer
by Amethyst_81

Golden gleam of dawning sun
Breaks gently through the mist,
Illuminating Kiko, small,
With rope clenched tight in fist.
Explorer hat set squarely
Just above his steely eyes,
Wherever grand adventure waits,
His destination lies.

Armed with naught but ancient map
Passed down by kin of old,
The great Kiko Explorer
Hunts for treasures, gems, and gold.
But lest you think this Kiko
Greedy, coarse, and unrefined,
Please note that he replaces
Each discovery in kind.

He swaps ten diamonds for a pearl,
Dubloons for twenty more,
For always will there be a Kiko
Driven to explore.
And all the young explorers
With adventure in their mind,
Will always have a hidden treasure
Left for them to find.

Happy Kiko Day!
by _mzyra_

Kiko, Kiko, tubular race;
Match all the cards and keep a fast pace.
Playful Neopets all around the lake;
Cute are their fins, cute are their face.

Once a year comes their special day,
All cheer for Kikos -- hip, hip, hooray!
The excitement has only just begun;
Hours of happiness and fun in the sun.

Let all of Neopia celebrate,
Jump in the water -- don't hesitate!
Kikos bring joy to the sea and the land;
Happy Kiko Day, have fun in the sand!

Captain Dread
by Fleur_411

Gather 'round young and old,
I've got a story to tell.
It's about a Kiko, Captain Dread,
And how Maraqua fell.

He sailed in his submarine, 
The Revenge it is named,
For its speed and stealth
This pirate vessel is famed.

He sailed to Old Maraqua
With his fearsome "Arr,"
Residents all ran in fear
From his bones and scars.

He brought great doom
And he set his curse,
No one knows quite how
And it cannot be reversed.

Today he pillages and plunders 
And sails the seven seas,
Neopians in seaside towns
Can never be at ease.

So beware this pirate Kiko
And his scary pirate crew,
Better watch while near the sea
Or he'll be stealing gold from you!

The Sweet Chocolate Factory
by Kuroge

Inside is a factory of wonder,
outside is a palace of dreams;
sweets you crave are here,
from chocolates to ice-cream.

The only one to ever leave
his mysterious forge,
that produces such wonders
that make mouths gorge.

Hidden beneath his smile
is a candy land of puzzles
that turns out admiration 
for those pink gum bubbles.

From all over the land 
the factory keeper is visited;
how these delicacies are made,
all are very interested.

But with a cane in his right hand
and chocolates in his left,
he smiles to himself,
never to worry about theft.

Storm (To An Electric Kiko)
by Larkspurlane

Kiko Lake. A quiet place,
Mirror-still, cool, lying without a ripple,
Beneath a black sky bejeweled 
With strange constellations --
A quiet place, for now,
Until he surfaces:
Electric Kiko, slashed here and there
With lightning, and calling
A matching lightning from the skies,
Warring winds that toss and hurl
The placid lake into turmoil.

The waves take the colours
Of the lake-bed: browns and greens,
Lifted from their resting place
In the depths of the lake,
To plunge and rise and plunge
With every wild turn of chance
That his storm calls down.

The lake is now akin to
Circling walls of water,
And he watches
Wave crash on wave,
Foam crash on foam,
As if to reach the sky.
