Techo Day Special

Alabaster Chesterdrawers the Techo
by gumgum101230

Alabaster Chesterdrawers
Is this Techo's strange name,
And selling antique furniture
Is his claim to fame! 

Once Neovia's curse dispersed,
He promptly set up shop;
Now anyone can snag some deals
If they make a quick stop! 

An alchemist can buy some shelves
Or a table for their potions
And lie on an Antique Couch
To discuss their emotions. 

Get an Ornate Chandelier
If you're mysterious,
Or perhaps you'd rather a Gas Lamp
If you're a bit more serious. 

Buy a Fancy Wooden Mirror
If you have a reflection to see,
Though "vampiric" Pets might rather get
A decorative Scary House Tree. 

Alabaster might sell to you
A Framed Photo of Alice,
Which hung above a fireplace
Before Krawley's malice. 

You might even buy a Cauldron
For cooking giant feasts–
As long as your creations won't
Turn folks back into beasts!

Techo Mountain
by swordlilly

To foreigners, it looks like
The giant face of a Techo.
The locals call it Piku Paku.
It stands tall, imposing, impassive,
Sleeping.
Legend has it
That the Fire Petpet at its core
Will wake one day, and bring
Calamitous ash from shore to shore.

But now it rests, impassive,
As it has for two thousand years.
The Techo's arms curve toward
The Island Arena. Narrow stairs
Lead past the Training School
And disappear...
Legend has it
There is another school, hidden
So deep you cannot hear it.

Behind the Techo's head curls
A quiet plume of smoke.
When you tread the stairs,
You cannot help but walk slowly,
Softly.
Legend has it
That this warm, buzzing silence
Will not hum forever. Once woke,
The Mountain's power will be beyond words.

Velm the Hero
by parody_ham

Gather ‘round and listen all
A healer strong will heed the call,
Protect his allies from the fall
Of evil’s taloned clutches

Here he comes triumphantly
Aiding all the ailing’s plea
And fighting on most fervently
To save us all from sorrow

Behold his staff that shines so bright
Its brilliant beams of radiant light
Here to show that love is might
And compassion is a stronghold

Velm the hero healer Bard
Looking for him will not be hard
For his allies, he will guard
And keep them all from harm

A Techo brave and bold and true
Using his magic for his crew
And to protect all of you
A mighty hero is he

The Buzzer Game
by lightning_power1993

You will train your patience and focus,
You will develop confidence like never before,
You will experience lots of fun and entertainment,
What more is there to ask for? 

I have carefully constructed this circuit board,
Designed in such a way the mistake is always yours.

Touch the edges thrice and the game is lost.

There are fifteen different levels,
Complete all of them to win the game. 
You get a nifty bonus if you complete them fast,
Who knows? You may even claim your name to fame!

As your Yellow Techo game master,
I will be watching you throughout the entire play.
To train you to reach your fullest potential,
I too will be distracting you along the way. 

How will I do that you say?
Well, I like to have my own fun too.
My eyes can glow and my tongue sticks out,
You must stay calm and ignore what I do. 

So come on by and don’t be shy,
The Buzzer Game is one you should try!
The process of winning will be challenging,
But the satisfaction you get will be simply amazing!

Make Some Noise for the Techo Fanatic
by aninha_morango

In the Altador Cup, you can always hear his screams,
He wears shirts from every one of the eighteen teams.
The Techo is always eager for the middle of the year,
For a few weeks, he can truly show how intense he is.

Only known as the crazy Techo Fanatic,
His true identity still remains enigmatic.
Despite this, we all know for a fact,
No one will ever dare call him ordinary.

A game was made in honour of his yelling;
Groups of grumpy Neopians started rebelling.
Make Some Noise is difficult — the word was spreading;
Only a few have the skill to shout like that without sweating.

Could the Mystery Island School offer a screaming training class?
Right away, the insane idea was rejected by the Techo Master.
If one wants to shout, they don't need any kind of help,
Just follow the crowd as they press their lungs right and left.

As time went by, they understood what the game really meant,
Cheering with enthusiasm and passion, they surprisingly went.
The screaming Techo gained crowds of loyal fans as a consequence;
You see his picture on prized souvenirs as the Altador Cup comes to an end.

A few months ago, a valuable stamp was released with his face,
Even after so many years, his importance never seems to fade.
Although this special figure we must always celebrate, 
He's not the only Techo that we should appreciate.

If you haven't noticed, it is a very special date,
Your Techo friends deserve to be honoured in the best way!
Their many qualities and differences you should embrace,
Show all of your love and shout to them a Happy Techo Day!

Underground Techo
by agedbeauty

Deep underground
Where the grass doesn't grow
Lives a Techo whose name
You'll just never know

This Techo is old
But at the top of his game
And once you meet him
Life is never the same

He'll tell you a secret
For the cost of a shoe
What you do with that secret
Why, that's up to you

It's a secret so big 
That it stays underground
Because some want it lost
To never be found

As for why it's a secret
Well, that's not mine to explain
Though perhaps you could ask
The Techo with no name

He might hem and haw
As he scratches his neck
He'll look side to side
As one might expect

And then he'll look at you
Straight in the eye
And he'll tell you one thing
"Well, I don't know why!"

You might be disappointed
But you can still give him a shoe
Then the secret that was his
Will now belong - to you!

The Techo Food Club Bet
by mynel_mel

On an island full of Krawks
Surrounded by the salty sea
There is a pair of brother Techos
And weaker Edmund Ogletree

Though the Krawks may name the island,
Techos reign the Food Club table
There come Franchisco and Federismo
Ready to eat as much as they're able

Every day at 2 pm
The crowd gathers, bets are made
The table is set, the dishes full
To see who's better at their trade

Federismo is slightly bigger
One pound heavier than his brother
He can munch Worm and Leech Pizzas
But for smoothies can't be bothered

Though he is smaller, our Franchisco,
It doesn't mean he'll let you down
Spicy Wings are in his favour
Just as candy makes him frown

Today's tally won't be easy
For Franchisco in the Lagoon
He looks over at his brother
Whose arena is the Harpoon

Both hope that today's the day
Stomachs grumbling with hunger
While Sir Ogletree is boasting
"I was the best when I was younger"

Oh, so much time went already
And no Pirates yet are out
Wonder what result expect me
Widest smile or dragging pout

Out the doors comes Federismo
Shiny oils highlight his green
He tips his hat to the crowd
"Well, of course I had to win!"

Franchisco is out soon after
Looking redder than before
"Today's special, Spicy Wings!"
Seems that I have won some more!

The last Techo out is Edmund
Or Sir Ogletree, as he insists
Belly propped out, looking full
Hands clenched tight into fists

"I have won, I ate so much"
He mutters under a milk moustache
And I, who bet on all Techos
Get in line to grab my cash!

The Tale of the Techo’s Tongue
by maculose

There lived a Techo who was well known. 
He was rather strong and was quite grown.
He loved food of every sort.
He would often go to the food court.

He loved all the tastes that filled the air.
He especially loved it if there was a fair.
The reason everyone knew who he was,
Was because he had caused quite the buzz.

He was not the nicest and was quite mean.
He would call others names, his actions were seen.
Then one day he met a stranger. 
He did not care if he was in danger.

“Why are you strange and why do you look weird?
Why do you have that unruly long beard?”
The stranger just laughed and waved her right hand.
“You are definitely the rudest in all the land.”

The Techo blinked but the stranger was gone.
He was actually standing outside on his lawn.
He began to speak but was caught off guard. 
His tongue was gone as he stood in his yard.

He ran inside and noticed a pie.
It looked delicious and it had caught his eye.
He grabbed a fork and quickly dug in.
He couldn’t taste anything and couldn’t grin.

He forgot he was missing a tongue in his mouth.
He began to cry and his mood went south.
As he let out a scream, he opened his eyes.
He was still in bed to his surprise.

He walked up to his mirror and opened wide.
His tongue was there and did not hide!
He was glad of this dream and was glad it was brief.
From that moment on, he turned over a new leaf.

The Techo Fanatic
by therainbowsheep

This Techo is not like the others,
He is a little unique.
To be stress-free is not his calling,
Not this Altador Cup geek!

The Techo Fanatic is renowned,
For his loud screams and his cheers.
At each match, each round he's ever-present -
Decked in Altador Cup gear!

Join him in his own special game,
The chaos that is Make Some Noise.
Over-the-top fanaticism
Is the spectator tactic he employs.

Outside the arena, his zeal fellows,
His home is a museum of sorts -
Admiring all the cup memorabilia,
Could actually be its own sport!

Like other Techos, the fanatic preens,
Under the limelight of any kind.
He loves to share his AC passion,
With others of like mind!

The Techo Fanatic is the following -
Spirited, eager, loud!
Catch him at the Altador Cup,
He'll be sure to make you proud.

An Ode to the School Supplies Salesman
by baytotheay

It’s this Blue Techo’s favourite time of year!
A season that most young Pets come to fear.
Back to school, yes back to school -
Even better than Tide of Yule!

They flock, you see, to Neopian School Supplies,
And, once here, they are always quite surprised
That they love the store and what’s inside,
I always watch them with wide eyes.

The pens section is where they seem to start,
They want all the colours with their little hearts.
All the Faerie pens and Snuffly markers too!
One grabbed melted crayons, but that wouldn’t do.

They need notebooks and backpacks,
lunchboxes and graph paper stacks.
Some even need erasers, scissors, and glue!
Many come with a list, others haven’t got a clue.

And when they finish their shopping,
the customers go home hopping.
I tip my graduation cap.
and settle in for a nap.

It’s hard work selling school supplies,
stocking and sorting, the time really flies.
And while the store is open all year, 
The Month of Gathering is what I hold dear.

Until next year, sweet friends,
Please return when summer ends!

Of all the Techos to Walk By
by meerkatpaws

A Swamp Gas Techo walks past you,
you hold your nose and yell out "Eww!"
You didn't mean to be so rude,
but today you're just not in the mood.

Of all the random events to have had,
it could have been one not so bad.
For literally any other colour,
would not have been quite the bother.

But the smell will now forever linger,
and the Techo didn't even lift a finger.
It's not his fault he smells so bad,
it could be worse, you should be glad!

They haven't released the colour Dung,
A Dung Techo, now that would be fun!
Imagine cleaning up the mess though,
then there would be a fit to throw.

Perhaps Swamp Gas is not so bad,
I'm sorry Techo, don't be sad.
Let's get out into the open air,
where none of us will have to care.

Feasting With Federisimo and Franchisco
by chai7705

On this holiday, we'd expect
To party and together all dine
And show our honours and respects
To Techos from all history's time

But there is that one pair of two brothers
Who are surely not strangers to feasts
Their stomachs are steeled like no others
Appetites some think only of beasts

The Corvallios are two Techo Pirates
That brawl in the Daily Food Club
Their skill so great, most admire it
As they do hefty work on that grub!

Franchisco, the Red-bellied twin
Is also red-hot in his taste
He's usually favoured to win
When spicier food's on his plate!

Tyrannian Peppers sure are hot
As well as the Flaming Burnumups
Spicy Wings? He'll eat quite a lot!
Flaming Fire Faerie Pizza? He'll clean it up!

But don't give this brother any Candy
Else you might be facing a loss
Strochals? Chocolate Cake? He's not so dandy...
His sweet tooth he never did floss!

Federisimo, the mean and the Green
Is fearless above all the rest
To try anything once, he is keen
And with weight that's one greater, he's blessed

His speciality lies in the Gross
Fungi Pizza, Wriggling Grubs, Seaweed Pies...
Many others don't dare come too close
To Mustard Ice Cream or Candy made from Eyes!

But he, too, is allergic to some
Those Smoothies will do him right in
Rasmelon and Lemon Blitz make him glum
Don't give Wild Chocomato to this twin!

So today, the Corvallios will gorge and will eat
In the Food Club, like all days, they'll compete

No worries or care for what they weigh
They'll still join in the feast for Techo Day!

The Techno Techo
by spukl1

Techno Techo is here, hit the lights,
He dances non-stop from day to night.
Techno Nimmo is Neopia’s party king,
Don’t forget, he also knows how to sing!

Techno Techo loves patterns galore,
He will be the best dressed on that dance floor…
With flowers and colours, he is bright and bold,
He also can’t resist dripping in gold.

Techno Techo brings joy and fun,
He is a funky chap; he comes to stun.
With a disco ball, he never goes wrong,
But it’s always a plus when he plays a song.

Techno Techo is groovy and sweet,
He’ll never stop dancing on those feet.
Techno Techo is my favorite dude…
With him around, we’re all in a great mood!

The Techo Who Sells Such Stellar School Supplies
by _brainchild_

A Techo sells some school supplies
For Neopets that are quite wise.
With pencils, paper, and some more,
He helps out students in his store.

"It's time now to return to school.
Which pencil of these will look cool?"
He asks you. "This one will delight!
Blue Draik Pencil will now take flight."

"A calculator does your sums.
With one, you won't be feeling glum!
A Blue Slorg Calculator will
Provide a math wizard with a thrill."

I buy my goods for this school year
And thank the Techo oh so dear.
Come visit if you need supplies----
The Techo has a nice surprise.

Techo Says
by midnightfrost444

"Remember well," the Techo said
"The pattern you're about to see."
"And then, when all is said and done,
Repeat that pattern back to me."

It's Techo Says! First of the games!
And since you're very smart,
You memorize that Red Kacheek.
But this is just the start.

A fine game gone for years, alas!
In the graveyard, it did hide.
But it came back, the thousandth game!
To show Neopian pride!

"But now..." The Techo sneaks a peek.
"Can you recall that Red Kacheek?"
"Did the colours that swirl and squiggle,
Distract you from that bright Green Quiggle?"

"Did that Chia pop up twice?"
"Who said this Techo ought to play nice?"
But since you say you're very smart,
Let's try again, right from the start.

A shiny trophy waits for you,
If you can win the day.
But first please tell me, and answer true:

What does the Techo say?
