Nimmo Day Special

Bookshops and Nimmos
by hermione_fan_4

If you’re looking to get smarter
Or simply a good cosy book
Look no further than the self-starter
Nimmo in Neopia Central and his magical nook

Or maybe you are looking for something unique
Then travel to the Lost Desert and Sakhmet City
To find the Sutek’s scrolls boutique
Nimmo and her wisdom of the ancient city

If Sutek’s scrolls fail to satisfy
There is yet another Nimmo nearby
In the city of Qasala with a tablet supply
That promises to educate and mystify

Wherever you go, you will find solace
Knowing that well-read Nimmos everywhere
Will help you with knowledge that is flawless
To find the perfect read fair and square

So on this Nimmo day, go take a look
At the wares of Nimmos keen and bright
You might just find a new book
To read under the stars of the midsummer night

Let Orrin Rest!
by agedbeauty

Orrin is a Nimmo
That so many Neopets rely upon
He works tirelessly all day
To gather supplies from far and yon.

Sure you may have heard
That his Captain thinks him slow;
But if you've played Revel Roundup
You know Orrin's always on the go!

The Snorkles have all escaped, and
This Nimmo must catch them fast!
The Lunar Festival is in need
And Orrin can't be last!

Even on Nimmo Day
Orrin can't catch a break -
The Snorkles are all gone,
But so are the treats to take! 

We have to help him hunt
At the Festival's behest -
So hurry up, because it's Nimmo Day
And this Nimmo needs a rest!

Nimble Nimmos
by merionelle

If you're seeking a Neopet that has an air of zen,
A calm and intelligent companion and a dependable friend,
A pet that knows a great many things and always thinks it through;
Well then maybe a Nimmo is the perfect Neopet for you!

Nimmos love to swim and they are very good at that,
But swimming is very far from the only thing they are good at.
Although you might not believe it, they're much more than just book-smart,
Many of them are in fact masters in a martial art!

Some excel at boxing, they leave opponents on the hop,
With the special gloves they purchased at the Battle Magic shop,
Others wield their ninja stars as a master of Neo-Fu,
Just like the sensei of the training school, the great ninja Ryshu.

If you like to read and think or perhaps meditate,
Then a Nimmo as a buddy for you would be just great!
And if you're the sporty type who seeks a sparring partner for a bout,
A Nimmo would be glad to help, it would be a perfect match no doubt!

Gorunda the Wise
by tatyanne

Gorunda the Wise
Is a household name.
Through her Collectable Card
She gained her fame.

In my Safety Deposit Box,
I have two hundred of her cards.
Even I am surprised
At how many there are.

Yet, somehow,
Not much about her is known.
All we do know,
Is that she is an old crone.

She lives in the western reaches
Of the Spooky Woods.
Her traps in these swamps
Will get trespassers good.

This ancient Nimmo holds secrets
From the beginning of Neopia.
What could they be?
I have absolutely no idea.

How nice it would be
To know more about her—
About this old Nimmo
By the name of Gorunda.

To be a Nimmo
by kadface

To be a Nimmo
I sit on my lily pad gazing
Eyes
Looking out for fleas and flies
Watching and waiting
Tongue flitting and feeling
Bent knees
Ready to spring
And rise and rise
To leap from pad to pad
To feel glad
That insects zip across the pond
For me to feed and eat
To see other Nimmos to meet
To croak and respond 
Between grass and rush
And straw-like fronds that wave and brush 
And hide and shade and shield
From prying eyes 
And barren field. 

To be a Nimmo
Is
To be
On my pond
In the air
And free.

A Ryshu Haiku
by mooseydoom101

On this Nimmo Day
We celebrate the master
Ryshu the ninja

Skilled at martial arts
Writer of lovely haiku
A beloved teacher

At the ninja school
He teaches his pupils well
Making them tougher

A great sensei
We all learn a lot from him
And pay him in stones

Many tan codestones
Go into the school's reserves
As our levels grow

Ninjas train all day
Ryushu works hardest of all
He is admired

He takes the day off
Master Ryshu deserves a rest
A day on the beach

Relax in the sun
And enjoy your day master
Happy Nimmo Day

Sutek’s Scrolls
by maddie_bangz

For those seeking ancient wisdom
The secrets to life’s greatest questions
A quick visit to Sutek’s Scrolls
Is one of our top suggestions

The Nimmo who works at this shop
Will guide you to what you most desire
Scrolls as far as the eye can see
With ideas and wisdom that’ll quickly catch fire

The way of the ancients is mysterious
And there’s so many secrets to uncover
Fellow Neopians will discuss what they’ve learned
And as you read the texts they’ll surely hover

No one knows what all can be found
On these ancient scrolls in this beautiful shop
The shopkeeper Nimmo will nod and approve
When you make your selection and start reading nonstop

The Magical Bookshop Shopkeeper Nimmo
by i_lovee_icecream

Tickling the spines,
Of a myriad of books.
This Nimmo beckons you,
To come take a look.

At the thousands,
Of books on his shelves.
This Nimmo is like,
The Magical Bookshop elf.

Tell him a topic,
Or a genre of your choosing.
He knows just what to get,
That’s perfect for your perusing.

He’s read them one,
He’s read them all.
He climbs a ladder,
To scale the shelves so tall.

Tucked away in Neopia Central,
With years of knowledge in store,
He welcomes your dedication,
To learning more and more.

This Nimmo is dressed,
In his sweater vest.
Smiles sweetly,
Truly dressed his best.

He hopes to entice you,
And develop your love.
For the written word,
He thanks up above.

Today, he thanks you,
This smart, Blue Nimmo.
He hopes you come again,
On a windy whim, winnowed.

Hip Hip Hooray - Bonnie Pip's Nimmo Day!
by chai7705

Today is the day to cheer on Nimmos
While Ryshu and Sidney are normal must-knows
Let's head to Krawk Isle
And meet the true pros!

Of course there are the Corvallio Bros
And all the others of Gooblah and co.
But amongst the Food Clubbers
There is yet but one Nimmo!

The one and the only: it's young Bonnie Pip
He may be quite small, but he is no blip!
He's got what it takes
Throwing pirates for a trip!

He likes all the sweets, which comes in quite handy
When all the arenas are full up on Candy!
Mallowicious Bar, Strochal, and more
Even gross Eye Candy is still quite dandy!

He also likes when Smoothies are in play
Rasmelon and Lemon Blitz means a good Foob Club day
Wild Chocomato's on the menu?
He'll show you the true pirate way!

He's not the biggest or strongest by far
But this Nimmo knows just how to food-spar
(So long as there's nothing Spicy)
He'll chow down with a mighty yarr-harr!

Though he may not be the most well-known
On Nimmo Day, K.I.'s proud to call him their own
So let's cheer and let's bet
And hope Bonnie Pip Culliford takes Food Club throne!

Happy Nimmo Day!
by kittycrew

Oh! Nimmo Day, it's finally here!
What should I do?! How to begin?
Oh I know! Let's read: Nimmo - Now and Zen.
Book is read! Smoke appears! It's done and gone. 

Now, now what to put on... My Nimmo Adventurer Jacket will be the perfect fit 
Paired with my Nimmo Adventurer Hat 
This outfit is sure to be a hit!

I'm all dressed, let's hit the road! 
I don't want my Nimmo Day Cupcake to get cold! 
One step, two steps we're halfway there! 
Be sure to wave at all the nimmos you see - Oh look! Lumi is over there! 

On our way I need to make a stop
Really quickly at the Neopian Bazaar Toy Shop
Cha-ching! It's done. My Nimmo Gnome Collectable Charm is in tow.
Now I've really got to hurry! I've got to go! 

Time is running out! 
But it's not too late-I arrive just in time to be trained by Ryshu. Shoo! That was close!
That's it! I've leveled up! Maybe one day I'll be a Nimmo Master!
Next time I'll try to get here faster!


On my last and final stop on this lovely Nimmo Day
I stop back by the NC Mall to buy a Nimmo Day Mystery Capsule.
I wonder what surprises it encapsulates!
I'll open it later and for now I will play my Nimmo Guitar some more. 

Phew!
What a day!
Before I run I just want to say...
I hope that you have a very Happy Nimmo Day!

A Relaxing Nimmo Day
by greenj12356

How happy can a Nimmo be, on this wonderful day?
They hop and jump, all through the pond,
But wait, this feels like a similar display?
Today is no longer for Quiggles, but frogs beyond.

Nimmos are a more intelligent sort,
Who read and learn and enjoy a quiet pace.
They aren't ones for an active sport,
Instead they will make music, and even strum the bass.

For Nimmos find fun in other ways,
While splashing and jumping aren't amusing
Their technical swimming will always amaze.
Or even summery naps, where all are snoozing.

These Nimmos celebrate in a different style,
But don't worry, they still enjoy today!
For any celebration of their day is still worthwhile,
And even their food is just a bit gourmet.

Their ponds are much more tepid,
Where they can relaxing in the warm breeze.
For these easy going frogs are quite level headed.
And enjoy the sights of water, the grass, and the trees.

Yes, these celebrations are much more refined.
As that is just what these Nimmos prefer,
And if you make friends, they respond in kind.
For celebrating their way is great, even for an amateur!

Ryshu the Guardian
by shenkuun

Shrouded in secrecy a Training School confides, 
In the mystical hollows of Techo Mountain's caverns. 
If you know where to look an entry takes you inside, 
Be sure to grab a lantern. 

After entering the dark crevice of solid rock untried, 
You can find Ryshu, the guardian of a Secret Ninja School. 
Travelers have come from far and wide, 
Seeking profound wisdom and training tools. 

If it's advanced training you seek you've come to the right place,
Just under the mountain's peak.
Greeted by Ryshu's inert embrace,
He molds Neopets strong from weak. 

It is encouraged to rub Ryshu's statue, 
For it grants wisdom and luck. 
Strenuous hours of training sessions anew, 
Your Neopet may feel plucked. 

Trust in the process and Ryshu's methods, 
Although they may seem odd. 
For this guardian is strongly legged, 
Delivering trainings that go unflawed. 

Upon leaving thank Ryshu for his trainings, 
Make sure to leave the statue a tip. 
For when you come back for more stat gaining, 
You will appreciate his mentorship.

Sidney's Scratchcards
by qeenoneo

Deserted yet often visited by fanfare, 
you can feel the intensity of Sidney's glare. 
The Fairground Kiosk will definitely test your luck, 
but if you lose he will let you know you're a schmuck. 

Step right up, move in close, 
winning those Neopoints, I know you'd love most. 
Don't be shy, don't be nervous, 
Sidney beckons you in, as does a good host. 

You scratch one tile off, 
then another one too!
It doesn't look good, 
but don't let that get you blue. 

Sidney's Kiosk is no easy win, 
but he will cheer you on with a big grin. 
That Nimmo is a sneaky one,
but maybe it was just a little bit fun.

The Nimmo Who Loved to Read
by noileh

There once was a Nimmo who loved to read.
She’d spend her days under the sea,
Floating through her library amongst the seaweed.

Reading underwater? What an unusual deed.
Well, she was Maraquan, you see –
This Nimmo who loved to read.

She could finish a book with incredible speed.
Most days, she’d finish at least three!
While she was floating through her library amongst the seaweed.

She devoured every book’s lesson with such greed.
She knew about every topic, as if she had a degree.
This Nimmo who loved to read.

“Come out and play!” her friends would plead.
But there was no place she’d rather be,
Than floating through her library amongst the seaweed.

One day, she dreamt that Maraqua she could lead –
That the knowledge she learned would set her free.
But for now she was just a Nimmo who loved to read,
Floating through her library amongst the seaweed.

The Bookshop Nimmo
by therainbowsheep

Most Nimmos can be found in water,
Swimming or lounging on lily pads.
But the Bookshop Nimmo prefers indoors,
And for this, we readers are glad!

He has crafted a cozy environment,
The shop itself shaped like a book.
Once inside, shelves even interspersed
With inviting reading nooks!

He stocks an impressive collection,
There's something for everyone.
He also has incredible taste -
His recommendations second to none!

This Nimmo values intelligence,
Believing reading sharpens the mind.
He even sells obscure textbooks,
Ones that are really hard to find!

A true thinker, always deep in thought,
He often shares his musings.
At the register he shares fun facts -
Fascinating ones of his choosing!

His numerous shelves touch the ceiling,
Tempting customers to splurge.
The covers so colorful and bright,
It's hard to resist the urge.

Us bookworms adore the Bookshop Nimmo,
Since he is a kindred spirit.
Without fail, we pop into his shop
Any time we are near it!
