BLUMAROO DAY SPECIAL

An Ode To Blumaroos
by Painted_dreams87

During the month of Hiding,
in the second year,
a wonderful event occurred
and all of Neopia celebrated with cheer.

Blumaroos came into existence, 
hailing from Roo Island we're told,
the world of Neopets was changed,
a place in our hearts they would forever hold.

With their smooth skin,
their adorably floppy ears,
and their long nose,
they would stick around for many years.

Soon the world was filled with Blumaroos
and some even became well known, 
such as Bonju and Rohane --
their popularity sure had grown.

As you go about your day,
take a few minutes and don't forget
how Blumaroos came to be,
and grew to be such an amazing 'pet.

My Gentle Blumaroo Paw Pillow
by Sugarypixiestix2

If I am feeling a little drowsy,
or simply unwell and real lousy,
all I need to do to feel lighter
is to squeeze my pillow tighter.

Then I will feel well cared for,
even if I'm laying on the floor.
My pillow is particularly plush
and it's as petite as a thrush.

It fits snugly inside my purse,
which helps make me more diverse.
Knowing that, if I need to rest,
I can do so anywhere with zest.

Being like a real Blumaroo's paw,
as in it just has me saying "aww."
The shape comforts my sleepy head
when I am far away from my bed.

Nothing gets me to sleep sounder
than my little paw pillow founder;
cushioned with such fluffy cotton
that my days can never be rotten.

Custard Blumaroo's Trick
by Flufflepuff

Concealed inside a custard pie,
He lies in eager wait.
The Blumaroo, he blends right in
And lurks for chance and fate.

Although his prison, round and sweet,
Is cramped and very small,
He knows the sight is worth the wait,
And sits, enduring all.

The custard fellow's inner self
Protests about the lack
Of motion and of fun alike
And threatens to go back

Out of the pie. From there, he'd play
To his heart's content.
He'd miss the opportunity
To try what he had meant

To do. That, though, was not the case, 
As sounds of feet grew loud,
And so he springs out of the pie,
With gaze so wild and proud.

The startled look on his friend's face 
Was worth his time and more,
Laughter burst forth, the likes of which
Had not been heard before.

Try Again, Great Blurendo
by Dr_tomoe

Magic in the world of Neopia
is a very powerful force;
some use it for potion-making,
others use it as a curse.

And with its many uses
it has many sources,
from enchanted faerie magic
to fueling the Order's forces.

One such magic user
treats it as a craft,
using it to entertain
and hopefully bring a laugh.

This Blumaroo magician goes by the name
The Great Blurendo when on stage,
which is ironic, given that
his magic is quite lame.

He's failed to pull Snowbunnies
out of his magic hat
And White Weewoos flew out of his sleeves
When he tried to bring out a Crystacat.

His water pouring trick
was met with irony
when, instead of making it Neocola,
he ended up with Achyfi.

But still, his shows entertains,
although his tricks often fail;
he keeps trying every show
and the audience tells the tale.

Perhaps, one day, he'll succeed
and be a Neopian magic master.
Until then, tickets should be cheap
and not sell any faster.

The Count
by Nedviolet

When the clock strikes midnight,
Every single day,
A certain Blumaroo awakens
From his concrete coffin case.
If you don't have a clue
About this famous Blumaroo,
Please, let me introduce
The scary Count Von Roo.

Only up for an hour,
Along with the mice,
Von Roo awaits challenges
To games of Deadly Dice.
Most challengers back out,
They can't handle the pressure,
But if you manage to win,
You couldn't measure your pleasure.

If you lose, you level down.
If you win, you level up.
But if you're asking me,
The risk is just enough.
If you practice every day
And hustle really hard,
You'll be on your way
To a brand new avatar!

Dicey Dilemma
by Niddyz

Just five Neopoints, the old king says,
So like a newbie you sprint away.
The total is small, the rewards so great,
You think your bank account’s gonna inflate.

Ten minutes go by and you’re stuck in the hole;
The green die’s got food 
And Neggs for the dole,
So that’s okay, ‘cause it’s just 5 NP more,
And yellow’s got more food and lottery galore!

You find yourself praising that Rooligan king,
Wondering if ever you’ll see that silver spring,
When suddenly you see 
That level up come through
And your mouse, so slippery, 
it feels the fear so true.

You lock up your valuables and click on ahead,
The Pant Devil comes, 
Takes all the junk instead,
And happily you notice the jackpot is rising,
So much that a trophy isn’t quite so surprising.

But then, of course, 
Your luck goes quickly quite flat.
Your NP go sliding, the Pant Devil grows fat,
The pot’s down to nothing, 
No food will come by
And you find yourself wondering, 
“Maybe 5 NP’s fine!”

And, since you are stubborn, 
You click one more time,
So that your friendly Blumaroo 
Comes armed with his line,
“You lose,” he says with such perk that you cry
But then you can’t help clicking and 5 NP go by

Such that you’re kept clicking 
'Til your Neopet gets bored
And then you wander onward 
To the Featured Game, or more,
All the while wondering,
Would tomorrow be that day
You win the fated jackpot, all just a click away!

My Favorite Blumaroos Haikus
by Usagi_bianco

Caked in dough and sauce
“Pizzas straight from the oven!”
Is that mustache fake? 

Three words: bounce or die
Jelly 'Roo avoids lava,
But shouldn’t he melt? 

The Cyrodrake’s Gaze!
Who enjoys the chef’s cooking?
Not Hoban, of course.

Hails from who-knows-where.
Hates the players and the game.
Where the heck is he?

Don’t play dice with him
That vampire Blumaroo? 
“Better luck next time!”

Sneaking in shadows
Save a few million points
My dream colored 'pet.

Sounds random to you?
Not to me. These are some of
My favorite 'Roos.

The Sleepy Count
by Chavo_guerrero

I suppose you think it's easy,
Snoozing all day long
While all the daytime Blumaroos
Laugh and sing a song?

No one gives a thought to me,
Tucked up for my sleep;
They're all so very noisy,
I feel that I could weep.

Up all night -- I'm Count Von Roo
And I'd like to rest all day,
But the loud and playful Blumaroos
Just won't go away.

I'm just so very tired,
But, when I hear their fun,
I know I'll get no naps again
Until their day is done.

Although I am a vampire
And shun the sun so bright,
I'm starting to believe
I'd get better rest at night!

If you want to play some Deadly Dice,
Find another Blumaroo,
I need to catch up on my dreams;
I'm sleeping this night through!

Designer Zelroo
by Rs_rbn

Who is the most famous
Of all the Blumaroo?
Why, of course the answer is
Designer Zelroo!

Who is Zelroo, you say?
How dare you?
HAIL SLOTH!

The finest ships
With the greatest speed;
Designing such is
Zelroo's grandest deed. 

But alas, an accident
Did once occur. 
It happened fast
In a great blur.

But who came through
When things looked bleak?
Dr. Sloth,
Who is never weak.

Quick as a flash,
A new body was made.
(And who said Sloth
Was too afraid
To help another
And not be paid?)

And now, old Zelroo
Can quickly reboot,
As long as there's power
In his robotic suit.

So, forever dear Sloth
Will never be without
The fastest flying ships --
Without a doubt.

The Court Jester
by Milestrong

For this very special occasion,
Let us celebrate one particular Blumaroo
Who knows not much fame or recognition,
But is as important as heroes, mind you!

Wearing a large, silly, pointed hat,
With the colors red, blue, green, and yellow,
This one particular Blumaroo
Is an eccentric and comical fellow.

His name might not be as known
As the heroes like Jeran or Brynn,
But he's done just as much work
To ensure that good always wins.

Either by juggling ten Mortogs
Or performing a grand magic show,
Any of this Blumaroo Court Jester's acts
Is always a spectacle to behold.

He was the one who was chosen,
Out of many others, for his skill
To keep King Skarl entertained
And to obey all of his will.

He works really hard every day,
And he loves making others laugh,
So for this very special date,
Why not give the Court Jester a clap?
