Grundo Day Special!

The Grand Grundo
by timothy1692

Up in space, it is the place
A station for the Grundo race
Small head, and big round eyes
Antenna reach beyond the skies

They run the shops, they sweep the floors
And polish up the hanger doors
The best food you will ever taste
Grundos cafe has just your paste


They love to play so many games
Too many now, to even name
Spell or Starve, and Gormball too
Keep evil Fuzzles away from you

Cute and fun and full of charm
Only sometimes do they mean you harm
Now you have come all this way
Adopt a Grundo, what do you say?

Discarded, and yet I'm floating,
on a cloud no less, it's fleeting.
Magical vibes this ride exudes,
But not always, does it suit the moods.

Blue is the sky and the color of my hide,
floating so high, the ground is my guide.
Grundos in this land, you will not find aplenty,
the Space Station, there you will find many.

Plushie I am, cuddly and cute,
and here I am, tossed down the chute.
Property I was once of someone's,
kisses and hugs, I was given tons.

as the days and nights grew, so did my strength.
many I can do beyond an arm's length,
gifting toys and healing those who are ill,
surprising many by gifting them the will.

The Sad Grundo Programmer's Tale
by fleurdust

In the early hours of the morn,
When the station's sound asleep,
A screen still flickers in the gloom
And something starts to beep. 

There's a despondent, heartfelt groan, 
The keyboard begins to tap. 
And the Grundo's face is lit up by
An advert for the new Virtupets app. 

He's still not managed to get the coding right 
To correct the station's trajectory, 
Even though he's been up half the night
And drank thirteen cans of Achyfi. 

His friends are all out partying,
Celebrating Independence Day
While he hunches over the monitor
To fix the misaligned arrays.

He doesn't get much recognition. 
All his work's behind the scenes.
But most of Neopia's triumphs
Are a result of a programmer's schemes.

So next time you see the Grundo Programmer, 
Give him a pat on the back,
A smile or a genuine thank you
For keeping our world on track.

There are those who would deride him,
And even call him a nerd.
To these, he simply grins and says
$s=odnurg;

The Grundo Lunchbox
by geneames1

Take me to your leader
and I have a hunch
no matter what he eating
I will keep his lunch

You say he has a sandwich?
Chcken Cordon Bleu?
That won't be a problem
I'll keep those items too

I am a Grundo lunchbox
I'm blue, but I'm not sad
pop my lid I'll come unhinged
but that won't mean I'm mad

I have a single job to do
that's keeping food within
and Grundos always do their jobs
even if they're made of tin!

Magical Blue Grundo of Prosperity
by larkspurlane

He doesn’t say much, my little blue friend:
Mostly he hangs for days on end,
Upon the branch where he landed
When Faerieland fell and left him stranded. 

He’s a quiet sort, for sure, 
But come see him in the future,
For he has gifts for all who visit,
Presents, toys, let me make it explicit:

Plushies fae and camo, and speckled too,
Myncies, Tuskaninnies, Chias, a Blumaroo,
Or if he’s feeling generous, even Neopoints,
So do come say hi -- he rarely disappoints. 

Sometimes he makes your pets happy,
Sometimes he’ll make them less hungry,
And sometimes they’ll gain some intelligence, 
So visit daily -- show some diligence!

And if your timing’s just right, 
And you’ve come from afar,
He may just decide he likes you,
And grant you an avatar!

The Pernicious Spider Grundo Hunts Prey
by _brainchild_

The Spider Grundo, once a soul
As pure as you or me,
Has been corrupted as a whole,
As anyone can see.
Alas, the Grundo, victimized
By monstrous Dr. Sloth,
Has met unfortunate demise.
All smart ones will take off!

His glare so wicked petrifies
In ghastly crimson shades.
To stick around would not be wise---
His evil never fades.
Those not so keen, entangled so
In slimy, glowing legs,
Succumb to such a heinous foe.
He smells like rotten neggs!

So, if you see a spider hued
Of lime, then run. Don't walk!
You'd rather not be Grundo's food---
You'd rather live to talk
About the sighting of the beast
Devouring the pure
So dreadfully, to say the least.
You'd better stray for sure!

GRUNDO
by secant

Great is he who 
Remembers the struggle against the
Underbelly of Virtupets, the 
Nefarious foe by the name of
Dr. Sloth.
Oh, what a fight!

Grumbling against the dark forces,
Reeling in the moonlight.
Upward shines the laser rays of 
Ninety-nine spaceships,
Doom after doom,
Open-ended space.

Grundos, do you hear us? We
Reminisce 
Upon the 
Night, where 
Dr. Sloth 
Opened fire.

Remembering The Grundo Liberation
by stephtephrite

Hear ye! Hear ye!
I screamed jumping for joy
From that evil Dr. Sloth 
I was finally free

No more working in a strange place
Time to make my escape
From the dark wretched ship
That is Virtupets space

Into Neopia I go
To enjoy my liberation
Time to go to Mystery Island
And enjoy a beach vacation
 
Dr. Sloth’s white flag
It has finally waved
Thanks to you, Neopia
Oh, the Grundos you’ve saved!

Gargarox, the Grundo Chef
by lilcutedoglover

Welcome to the Grundos Cafe
Where you'll find Gargarox, the Grundo Chef
Mixing and making new recipes every day
Come and check out his creations yourself!

So many delights to try
Have a taste for something a bit out there?
Try the Beef Rouladen or Spiced Apple Pie
Or a delicious treat like the Orbiting Eclair

Whether it’s Space Kabob or Cherries Jubalee
Gargarox has something for all to share
Bizarre foods made with glee
Prepared with plenty of care

So, celebrate Grundo Independence Day
By paying Grundos Cafe a visit
And enjoying a Space Fungus Sundae
A treat made by a chef so exquisite!

Ode to Gargarox
by trubiekatie

In all honesty, his name is hard to say,
With so many letters all over the place.
You’ll find him at the Grundo’s Café,
Where you can totally stuff your face.

He loves to play Gormball too,
In addition to his cooking hobby.
Passing around that ball steel blue,
He won in Year 11, how snobby.

I’m here to try one of his fancy foods,
Concocted with things from outer space.
Don’t catch him in one of his moods,
When he gives you a stern straight face.

Enjoy any of his dehydrated delights,
Or the Deep Fried Galatic Food Mass.
The Gaseous Moonpie is an off white,
And its smell makes me want to pass.

You know what, I’d rather play a game,
Against Gargarox Isafuhlarg instead.
This large Green Grundo is a claim to fame,
Known for his Gormball rather than bread.

Gruundo Appreciation Poem
by _interrupted_

Rocking the Tyrannian Concert Hall, 
You will find a special band. 
One composed entirely of Grundos, 
From a cosmic space looking land. 

Jamming on their guitars, 
Creating an amazing sound. 
Gruundo is the best band, 
That you will ever find around. 

Their fans are very loyal, 
And sing along to every song. 
Jumping and clapping, 
They could do this all day long. 

So, we say thank you to these creative Grundos, 
On this very exciting day. 
Waving our tickets, 
Tyrannian Concert Hall, we are on our way! 

Happy Grundo Day.

The Grundo in the Warehouse
by sk8tergirl503

Above the world in outer space,
The Space Station floats in its own embrace.
And on the Space Station, the Grundos mull about
Busy working all throughout.

But in one small corner of the large construct
The Grundo Warehouse sits, away it's tucked.
And a single blue Grundo mans the desk
You can go up to him, he won't think you're a pest!

"Hello dear sir," the Grundo greets with a smile.
"I haven't seen you around in a while!"
You come with a message, a code if you will.
Present it to the Grundo, secrets he might reveal.

"What's this you have?" The Grundo spies in your hand.
You traveled with this code to this faraway land.
You read him the numbers, he ponders and thinks.
He verifies on his computer and the gate opens the links...

"Here you go!" The Grundo exclaims as he pulls out a box
A box so big, it will knock off your socks!
You lift up the lid and take a peek inside
The value of this item can take you for a ride!

"Thank you so much!" You say with a grin.
The Grundo's warmth and kindness makes him feel like kin.
"Come again soon!" The Grundo waves as you leave.
You are so grateful for the best gift you might ever receive.

So off you go to find a new code
Who knows where it might be, so hit the road!
The Grundo will wait for when you come back
Guarding hundreds of surprises, his dedication deserves a plaque!
