Ruki Day Special

Full Ruki Armour
by indulgences

So quiet and polite, my pet,
A Ruki colored blue.
I love his tranquil, lovely face,
And sapphire body hue.

He's bookish, calm, an introvert,
And has a timid smile.
He's not combative, fierce or tough.
That's not his Ruki style.

And yet, I buy this armour for
His shy and peaceful soul.
I want to keep him safe from harm,
And keep his body whole.

This armour will protect my pet
Within the Battledome.
This armour will defend his self
Wherever he does roam.

My Ruki is a dear, no doubt,
And will not start a fight,
And yet, I'll arm him with this coat
To fill his foes with fright!

The Ruki Shopkeeper
by dzireeuhn

I hold my nose
before entering
the Second-Hand Shoppe
and yet, the stench of
Piles of Dung
makes my nostrils erupt.
The yellow Ruki is
quite accustomed
to this, I can tell
He offers a smile,
unfazed by the bad smell.

I look through
the selection
of wearable things,
from hats and pants,
to backgrounds and wings.
The Ruki ensures that
it is easy to find
a good wearable item
that is one of a kind.

The Thrift Shoppe Ruki
toils for hours and hours
to guarantee that no
store customer
ever feels sour
This Ruki Day,
please stop by
and offer a wave
to a kind, yellow
shopkeeper
who believes that
even smelly dung
can be saved!

Ruki Day
by she_chose_love

Hooray, Hooray,
it is finally Ruki Day!
I Cannot wait to laugh and have fun,
while celebrating every Ruki under the Neopian Sun.

Today is a day filled with friendship and love,
a day Rukis are very deserving of.
I wonder what new and exciting things will happen today,
as we celebrate Rukis in each and every way.

I hope a new paint brush color is introduced,
something to give all Rukis looks a boost.
A shade that is colorful and bright,
or maybe a color that will give you a fright.

New Ruki items will come out today too,
I am hoping for a pair of wings in shades of blue.
Today will bring so much excitement and fun,
I hope this day is never done.

Happy Ruki Day!

The Roaming Ruki
by espressoself

Being a quadraped means four legs for walking,
That’s twice as much as most.
They’ve been more places than you,
Although they’re not the ones to boast.

Rukis wander, but they are not lost
They can always find their way.
Their six legs are made for walking
Across the Lost Desert’s clay.

Life is a big adventure,
And a true Ruki won’t back down
Their natural armor protects their feet,
They’re the best travelers around.

They collect moments and things,
Tall Stories, and taller tales.
They can follow their hearts anywhere,
It’s the map that never fails.

Although their skin maybe tough,
Don’t let the outside fool you.
Their hearts are big and soft, 
and to their owner loyally true.

If you want to adopt a Ruki,
But are afraid it might wander,
Home is where the heart is
And of you, they’re always fonder.

Good Things Happen As A Ruki
by xvermillion_justicex

Good things happen as a Ruki.
I just wish that they made me a Usuki.
Watch me climb up this tree now.
I get distracted by shiny, new things, wow!

I love living in the desert!
Sand beats living in the artic weather!
Today is gonna be a great day,
I'll be eating Cheops plants and chirp the Ruki way.

Don't Count Them Out
by applepie2896

Never underestimate a Ruki.
Though seemingly timid and tiny in size,
The Ruki stands tall - and onward it flies.
Perseverant by nature, eyes gleaming with rapture,
A Ruki's true spirit could never be captured
by a camera. Not one obstacle or impossible goal
could take on a Ruki too much of a toll.
They emerged from the desert, an unforgiving location
yet are able to travel for enduring durations.
But the Ruki is lonely. As the thirty-ninth most popular pet,
it deserves more love than it could ever get.
So next time you turn up your nose at this bug,
be kind to the Ruki. All it needs is a hug!

The Cutest Baby Ruki Plush
by _brainchild_

The Baby Ruki Plush, so cute,
Is lovable. Who can dispute
The gorgeous splendor in his eyes?
I'll buy him, and he'll be my prize.

So what if he's an insect? I
Adore this plush. I can't deny
The boy a home because he bears
A rigid shell. That's never fair!

The eyes, two oranges, shall contrast
With minty shells. Oh, joy! At last
I have a friend of lovely hues,
An angel certain to amuse.

I'll play with him for months to come—
I'll be a very awesome mum
To him, because he's cute and sweet—
To eyes, this baby is a treat.

Catch the dice thief!
by dr_tomoe

Quite a few Neopian Games
require a dice to play
Be it to roll dice for destiny
or the return of Keyquest one day

But one evil Ruki has
decided to be a pain
and take all the dice away
and ruin all those games!

To stop him, you have to follow
him to his strange dimension
and then rescue and escape
with the dice is your mission

It's not easy to stop him
for he has traps in this place
and to escape with the dice
the right number must be on the face.

But stopping the Ruki is needed
to save Dice a Roo or stop the gummy dice
And besides, rescuing the board dice
is just something that's really nice.

But try your luck and try
to catch the dice thief
to save all of the games
and give Neopia relief.

The Second-hand Shoppe Shopkeeper
by panda_girl555

If you venture through the shops of Neopia Central
You’ll find one of the kindest Rukis around
Down a narrow alley at the Second-hand Shoppe
Where garments and accessories abound

As you enter, this cheerful, bespectacled Ruki
Greets you with a smile
Inviting you to peruse the racks 
Try a new look and stay for a while

The dedicated shopkeeper works hard
To ensure free clothing in store
Everyone deserves some chic wearables
No matter if they are rich or poor

You may have sniped some fashionable finds
But remember: don’t be greedy
Although available to all Neopians
Make sure to leave some clothes for the needy

The store could always use more donations
So if you’ve clothing you don’t often wear
This Ruki would appreciate it very much
Be generous and donate your spares

So feel free to browse the shelves
Search through the boxes and the racks
Although you never know what you might find
It’s most likely to be dung and potato sacks!
