Skeith Day Special

The Brethren Skeith Kings
by myncithemonkey

On a picturesque peninsula among Neopia's shores,
Situates two royal kingdoms plentiful and rich.
Meridell with fanciful history and brutal wars,
Brightvale encompassing knowledge of every niche.

Skarl the blue Skeith rules the land of Meridell,
He is, by many standards, a grumpy and old king.
Tell him a bad joke and he will angrily yell,
But occasionally good humor makes his heart sing.

Hagan the green Skeith rules the land of Brightvale,
A wise old king in stark contrast to his brother.
Knowledge and wisdom to him are the holy grail,
Leading his subjects towards enlightenment together.

The two kings and their reign show much disparity.
Skarl calls Hagan and his people haughty and vain,
And Brightvale considers Meridell a land of barbarity.
The differences in values lead to tension and strain.

But the brethren acknowledge each other's strengths.
Skarl despite the gluttony still rules with prudence,
And Hagan's populace is educated to great lengths.
The two Skeith kings thus set aside their impudence.

Skeith Bank Manager: A Day in the Life
by a_ramsell

I stand in front of the mirror
And readjust my tie.
I grin at my reflection;
My spirits are sky-high.

Today is my favorite day,
And I just want to cheer.
That's right, friends, it's Skeith Day!
The best day of the year.

I set off for work,
A big smile on my face.
In a rush to arrive,
I pick up the pace.

I arrive at the bank
And fish a key out of my pocket.
So I can unlock the door
To my modest little office.

To my pleasant surprise,
I'm met with balloons and confetti!
My amazing, thoughtful employees
Have thrown me a Skeith Day party!

I thank them all sincerely
As we feast on cake and tea.
After a few short minutes,
I gather everyone around me.

"Thank you all for the party,"
I say. "It really was a treat!
But alas, the party must come to an end,
For we have customers to greet!"

Skeiths Are Great at...Managing Money?
by umbrex

Neopets always say that
it has been well shown
that Skeiths are great eaters:
their stomachs' limits unknown.

But there are things about Skeiths
you won't notice at first glance,
like their penchant for money
and unmatched skill at finance.

For example, take Gordos of Altador:
a prudent and honest tax collector.
For his unfailing efforts in his work,
he was made an Altadorian protector.

Look no further than Neopia's bank
if modern examples are what you seek.
The manager's prudent and precise,
with unmatched accounting technique.

So on this year's Skeith Day
be sure to change your perception.
Don't let your mind be ruled
by some wild misconception.

Snargan's Game
by catchinglights

Flip a coin, make your choice -
Heads or tails, so very easy,
No need to think too hard, now.
With just a flip you could rejoice,
There's no need to look uneasy,
I am Snargan, and my word is my vow!

Skeiths are naturally good with money,
But don't let that deter you at all,
At least not until we play our game.
I do play fair, but it is quite funny,
You think you'll pull in a large haul,
But you have to flip before your win you can claim.

Put your wager here on my scales,
And here's a coin, now give it a toss,
To see who takes the stash.
Argh, it's heads when I wanted tails,
Though I can't say personally it's too great a loss,
After all, that was merely King Skarl's cash!

The Bank Manager on Skeith Day!
by yellowstefy

A friendly green Skeith,
With big ferocious teeth.
He wears a fancy suit,
As he counts up your loot.

You’ll find him at the bank all the time.
He will protect your neopoints from any crime.
He happily watches you collect your bank interest.
And gives the highest accounts only for the richest.

He counts neopoints, by twos and tens.
And is always happy to see you again.
He likes to make sure people withdraw their money wisely.
Some draw out millions, though items can be pricey.

He enjoys it when Neopians stay for a little conversation.
Today they will have a lot to say for the Skeith Day celebration.
A day the banker will have a cheerful, proud smile.
A day where he will be wearing his favourite tie with style!

The Skeith Full of Coin Expertise
by _brainchild_

So you're tired of your stamps—
They've faded under your bright lamp.
Why don't you collect some coins?
They're a most terrific toy!

They're sold by a fantastic Skeith
Who promises your coins will keep
Their value for decades to come.
C'mon, friends! Don't you want some?

What? You aren't impressed like me?
He sells much more. Hmm, let me see...
Aha! He purveys scarabs too.
They'll be the perfect prize for you!

You like those more? That's grand. I'm glad.
These bugs are more than just a fad.
They come in colors bold or mellow—
Rainbow or a simple yellow!

You've chosen the red one? That's great.
A charming choice on this fine date.
What was that? Oh, don't thank me—
Thank the expert, Mr. Skeith.

Eat Skeith
by migorz13

Beware the mouth
Of big ‘ole Skeith
It’s all lined up
With long sharp teeth

Don’t anger the Skeith
Because he will fight
And when he does
He’ll definitely bite

So be very careful
You don’t want those fangs
To munch you up
During his hunger pangs

But also remember
His spiky back too
I think you know
What those things can do

The Brothers Skeith
by actualdoctor

The brothers Skeith
two sides of the same coin
the king of hearts and the king of spades
they’re intertwined

a storm rages behind closed doors
a rivalry, a need to be set apart
a deep requirement to be the one
but always remember one is the loneliest number

a disdain for your own blood
can be a perilous path to choose

without dusk there can be no dawn
the sun and the moon
forever revolving
what would we do without both?

empathy is greater than apathy
love stronger than hate
sometimes the spaces between differences
are smaller than presumed
