Down for Maintenance Pteri
by mia_hollow

Neopets is down for maintenance
It's time for you to practice abstinence
No Neopia no more, go for a walk on Earth
Get some Vitamin D, for what it's worth.

Trying to log in again?
He's ready to taunt you there and then
Patience is a virtue, so they say
But this Pteri's really making you feel some kind of way.

Later, you'll have to take it to the Battledome
To cure the anger that's becoming a syndrome
It's not his fault, you know, but nevermind
You need this site to bear your daily grind.

His bright red feathers and wide smile are mocking you
Refreshing hard, you're not the only one, get in the queue
How much longer is this going to go on for?
You can't remember how long it has taken before.

But wait, it's back! All is forgiven!
The maintenance Pteri is now once again hidden
Goodbye little fella, thanks for putting up with us
Next time we'll try not to make as much of a fuss...

A Groovy Chomby Day
by stefsea

Chombies groove and Chombies move,
Dancing like there's something to prove!
Not a single Chomby is in their seat,
The whole room gets on their feet!

A famous band appears on stage,
Holding lyrics scribbled on a page.
Over the mic, an announcer calls,
“Welcome Chomby & The Fungus Balls!”

They sell out shows, do you see why?
This funky band can make their fans cry!
Music and laughter in the Concert Hall,
Chombies dance all around, big and small!

The concert ends off a perfect day;
Friends gathered to party the night away!
Smiles from ear to ear on every pet,
This is a Chomby Day they won’t forget!

Carnaval de Chomby (Portuguese)
by garrafa_de_plastico

É quase final de Março
Mas o ano ainda não começou
Porque ainda não chegou
o Carnaval dos Chombies! 

É depois desse Carnaval
Que o ano fica mais legal!

Vamos, entrem na Kombi
Vamos todos, entrem
Vamos celebrar o Chomby!

Na praia, no campo, no ar
Entremos na Kombi
Para viajar e celebrar
Mais um carnaval de Chomby!

Illusen's Monologue
by pixie_tea

Oh, hello there!
Glad you came to Illusen's Glade today, I knew you'd care.
I'm Illusen and I needed someone to talk to,
Why? If only you knew...

I'm the Earth Faerie of Meridell and I bestow quests on those who visit my glade and wish to help me,
Please, come in and sit, I'll tell you more while I make you some tea.
I love nature and its creatures and there's a holiday in honour of me that lands on the 17th of March every year,
Today is Illusen Day and I should be happy and excited, but I have a fear.

I fear that my arch-nemesis, Jhudora, is going to ruin my special day,
We've been enemies for the longest time everyone would say.
She may be up to no good and planning some evil scheme to get back at me for giving my quests away,
But now that I hear my thoughts out loud, why should I let my worries ruin Illusen Day? This is all in my head and I have to be optimistic... I will be okay!

I'm going to enjoy today and be extra generous to anyone who visits my glade,
Wow! I just noticed that sharing what's on my mind is making my fears fade.
Spread the word for me, will you?
Tell everyone that I will award them a prize along with the Illusen Doll avatar if they find the item that I pursue.

Remember to tell them that they'll only be awarded if they bring me back the correct item before 16 minutes and 40 seconds are up,
You haven't drank the tea that I made, there's still lots in your cup.
Now that you've finished the cup of tea, go tell everyone to visit me today to get the Illusen Doll avatar because I only do this once a year,
Oh and thanks so much for listening to me and lending an ear!

Chomby Genie
by parody_ham

A powerful genie dwells in the lamp
Dare you give it a rub?
Chomby with power unimaginable 
Comes to all that are in his club.

Earn this genie’s favour with ease
If you free him from his trap
Of a lamp that served as his forever home
Free him and he’ll help in a snap.

Help with what, you say?
Any wish you desire
From riches untold
To a personal choir!

One such Scorchio helped him out
And freed the genie from his chains.
But he dropped some loot all over the town
And could barely carry the gains!

If you see this genie in your travels
Offer a wave or two,
But beware of the dubious ways he grants
These wishes just for you.

The Woodland Scorchio's Earthy Charm
by _brainchild_

The Woodland Scorchio is so
Attractive and divine.
Its pattern and its leaves that grow
Will certainly be mine.

The colors are quite different, yet
They boast appeal and charm.
You'll love red, green, and black, I'll bet!
They surely do no harm.

The leafy wings are very lush;
A sprig adorns its head.
Excitement certainly will rush
As earthy fragrance spreads!

So, if you seek a pet which will
Embody bliss of trees,
The Woodland Scorchio will thrill---
It's guaranteed to please.

For Illusen
by funanbule

Smell of moss and leaves carried by the wind
Spring touches the earth with a flap of her wings
Nature takes the greenest of tints, illumined
A quest will bring the valiant her blessings

In her glade rocked by a warm summer's breeze
Under a shining sun, in enchanted silence
Only the mention of Jhudora will displease
To her who seeks to restore the balance

For forces of an evil unknown keep lurking
Commanded by the foulest of faeries, half-witch,
And fair Illusen took an oath, forever binding :
Work her magic and once again allow good to flourish

Many tales have been spun of the legendary rivalry
The truth of them lost in the sands of time
And while today marks not the end of its history
We can honour Illusen's glorious fight with a rhyme

Be merry, gather in Meridell's most beloved glade
Let us all dance and celebrate our lady's day
Until night falls onto her abode of jade
And hope one day verdant Illusen gets her way !

My Devious Darigan Scorchio
by treeword

I spared not a second thought,
When I decided upon a hasty whim,
To paint my Scorchio Darigan,
But the results were rather grim,
For he turned into a little devil,
And took it to a whole new level.

His sharp little claws did rip,
My book of Scorchio Nursery Rhymes,
And he won’t drink his Scorchio Tea,
Though I’ve asked a million times.
He even threw away his Scorchio hat,
I’m starting to loathe this little brat!

He smashed a Scorchio cake,
Atop my freshly washed head,
And he turned to a pile of ash,
His newly purchased sled.
He really drives me berserk,
When he gives me that devious smirk.

I’ll admit, I think about the pound,
And sending him away,
But then I tuck him in at night,
And he turns to me to say,
“You're the best mom I could hope for,”
Then I hold off for one more day.

The Meritorious Mayor of Moltara
by i_lovee_icecream

A Chomby of the working class,
Keeping machinery running in mass.
The Mayor of Moltara is a meticulous man,
Tightening bolts and cleaning grease pans.

"Hello, hello. Welcome one, welcome all!"
You can hear his booming voice from City Hall.
He greets newcomers to his strange, molten land,
With a moustached smile and an outstretched hand. 

In his hours away from the public mass,
He tinkers with appliances all made of brass.
Tink, tink, click. Twist, clunk, blast!
His skills help him work ever so fast.

The Mayor of Moltara works in the planet's core,
Descending stairs and stairs until the last floor.
Replacing gears and cogs to keep Neopia protected,
There's no other mayor we could have selected. 

A Chomby of the working class,
Keeping machinery running in mass.
The Mayor of Moltara is a meticulous man,
Tightening bolts and cleaning grease pans.

Ode to Lillydreamer the Chomby
by actiontal

Lillydreamer, my first dinosaur
She’s my friend and a whole lot more 
I picked her up, from the pound
Never knowing she’d stick around 

My oldest pet and she’s here to stay 
So I celebrate her on Chomby day! 
She started as a kau, but morphed into a dream 
A mutant Chomby was now on my team! 

She visited the battle dome every day 
An absolute unit, or so they’d say 
But she wanted to dress up more
And her size kept her out of the NC store 

But now you must see her, such a sight
This watery, rainbow, dino-delight!
She may not stay water for the rest of her days
But on my account, a Chomby she stays

Dare I say it's dragon day?
by vivajocares

Scorchio day has here,
as all the dragons gather near,
their fiery breath billows into the sky,
as they fly high above you and I. 

Scales line their spine down to their feet, 
from Tyrannia's molten volcanos, their retreat,
they bask in the desert sun rays,
enjoying sand dunes for all their days. 

Arcing from long before records were kept,
these prehistoric pets were among the first to grace Neopets,
but back in Year 1, their form was new,
originals had bat wings and fluffy hair too.

The pet we know today has a grin oh so smug,
with stout arms yearning for a hug,
bright, big eyes taking in all the vistas to see,
and little wings that are as cute as can be.

Famous Scorchios also flock in for their special day,
Glubgar rests from his Volcano Run duty stay,
the Lab Ray Scientists temporarily puts his infamous experiments away,
and Samuel, along with his Petpet Protection League wards, join in on the buffet. 

Even the evil ones dare swing by,
like Scordrax, the two-headed menace, who lost his Lost Desert power vie,
and the Altador Cup referee who many think make questionable calls,
but no maligned Scorchio can dampen the mood of these joyous halls.

So come one, come all,
celebrate the dragons who dazzle us with fireballs,
rejoice in these benevolent creatures,
on this day they are the main feature!

Send For Illusen!
by mutantmetal

What do we need to take down Jhudora?
When she's on an evil streak
The wisest minds will gather and discuss
Have an answer? Don't be meek

It seems there's no solution
At least, that's what they say
But someone raises their hand
And boldly proposes a way

Who's the one, so strong and smart
Who remains J's biggest rival?
Illusen! Illusen! Illusen! 
Let's send for her arrival!

A staff of wood
With magic imbued
That's all we need
To take down Jhude!

Let's take some parchment
Scribble a hasty note!
Go and take it, run!
She'll understand what we wrote!

Don't blast the messenger, but it seems
We need you to help us
Your good old rival Dora
Have gone completely nuts

Now go and run, the situation's dire!
Everyone, shed a happy tear
We're gonna fix this thing!
It seems Illusen's here!

Good, Good Gadgadsgame
by precious_katuch14

Place the Blobbules together,
Line them up like so.
Gather enough of them
To make neat rows.

Don't be surprised
If the Blobbule goes boom
And becomes a big Blobbule
That fills the entire room.

Here comes another fruit,
A lumpy, orange Stramberry.
Don't know where to put it?
Maybe on top of the Plumberries.

The fruits are piling up,
What else can you do?
Here comes a Fruit Elixir,
A truly mysterious brew!

Change your Stramberries,
Let them become Blobbules.
Well, that's quite odd,
Still part of Gadgadsgame rules.

All these blue Blobbules,
A rapidly growing wall.
But the Twirly Fruit Potion
Will destroy them all.

Pile the fruits up
Watch them all grow,
And when you get a bomb,
Take cover as it blows!

That's how you play Gadgadsgame.
Gadgadsgame, good, good game.
And if you get hopelessly hooked,
Trust me, I am not to blame!

A Young Chomby's Migration
by swordlilly

Eggered was born into a lush warm world.
His early memories are hazy:
A prickly nest in which he curled,
Nibbling omelette. Long, lazy
Naps in the Tyrannian heat.
And then long, panicked runs,
Scrambling to stay on his feet.

The later memories are clearer:
The sweet, plastic smells in the store
In Neopia Central. The mirror
In the NeoLodge. The self-opening door.
And the many strangers, making
Strange sounds. The first night of rest
In a small, sagging bed. Awaking.

It didn't take long before he learned
To call this sunny town his home.
And yet, sometimes, in dreams he yearned
To find those distant plains, to roam
That distant jungle-floor. To sleep
Again in the prickly nest, and hear
The humming of flies in the deep.

Illusen Day
by phlyarologist

No other faerie so beloved,
nor another so well served.

Hidden in the forest, deep;
If you can find her, rewards you’ll reap.

Ask nicely and she’ll give a quest;
Quickly now, no time to rest.

16 minutes, must be swift;
Too slow and she’ll be miffed.

You may need to spend your riches,
to cater to this faerie’s wishes.

Find enough items for Illusen,
and her mighty staff you’ll win!
