Semolina and Omelettes
By Kfergyk

There on the ground lay a single Lenny,
As she stared away toward the frenzy.
Her grizzly voice was held within
As she took a sip from her wineskin.

The marketplace was bustling now,
And in the corner of her eye
This Lenny saw something she couldn't allow!
There in the crowd did a wicked beast thieve,
How dare he think that he could achieve?!?

Sneaking away did he hide in his pocket
One package of semolina, and two fine omelettes!
This young Lenny could only gape in terror,
But as seconds passed she became all the fairer.

This theft was hardly allowed in this place;
Neither in the court would it be embraced!
Yet the Lenny she did seek
Slight vengeance and adventure,
So quickly did she bring up
The courage to venture.

She stealthily waddled forward at once
Her claws in a fist
As she hurried toward this dunce.
And as she did so all the little girls and boys
Looked up to the Lenny
As she swirled and twirled!

Soon she is gaining, right on his back!
This thieving young Grarrl
Could only be taken aback.
So victory again comes to the little Lenny,
And the prize that she seizes
Is a bright shiny penny!

The semolina and omelettes are safe once again,
Thanks to this rather scourging young wren!
Yes the zealot young Lenny sung sonnets,
As she hastily returned
The semolina and omelettes!

Guardian of the Sky
By Barlow_gurlie

High above the treetops
The beautiful Unis fly
Wonderfully mystical creatures;
Guardians of the sky

From the gentle tune of a songbird
To the serene melody of the sea
All the music of the air
Adds to a Uni's contagious glee

Although vicious when necessary,
They're very friendly most of the time
Lifelong friends I've made
From Unis much like mine

To and fro he soars
O'er Neopia so majestically
He keeps the world from harm
Evil doers can't help but flee

My Uni; he's a doll
A paragon of his breed
With such a selfless devotion
He's always there when I'm in need

Unis aren't conceited, just confident
Always sure to look their best
It's just plain to see
They far surpass the rest

So next time you see a Uni
You should thank him. Why?
Well, if there were no Unis
There'd be no guardians of the sky

The Curse Of The Mummified Pepper
By Killer_goth_queen

There is a legend
which tells the tale
of what might happen

if you cross
the second line
(DON'T DO IT!!!)
of the second verse.
Terrible things will happen
when you chomp
on that mummified pepper.
(Yep, that's right... TERRIBLE!!!)

If you try to read
further than the end
of this verse

and into
(Don't!!! Please don't!!!)
the fourth...
(Ah, well... don't say I didn't warn you!)
be warned:

you think you are safe now,
BUT DON'T LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER!!!
(I bet you did)

Price of a Cure
By Kyranic

Kevee came up slow, eyes glazed over
And head down low
"Yowl!" he cried and "Yowl!!" again
What has happened to my best, best friend?

He's all doubled up,
Then wanders around until collapsed
His paws wrapped around my legs
Are now firmly clasped
He yowls once again, an ear splitting whine
I can't take this no more, "What is it?!" I cry

"It's my head!" he replies
"My head! My head!!" he continually cries
He moves from my feet,
His paws clawing at his blue fur
Pulling his hair as he rolls on the floor

"It's Achy Head," the doctor tells me
I could have snapped, "That's clear to see!!"
Then left for the cure at the Neopian Pharmacy
No Magic Goop available,
Store owner says, "I am sorry."

Asked the Shop Wizard for help
Now my head ached, I felt
Reading the heavy demands for cash
Wondering how long dear Kevee could last

Now, if you're reading my poem
Please see the message I've shown
Not everyone can afford the high prices, you see?
When pets are sick,
Give cures for cheap or give them for free
Just remember my little Kevee.

Battledome Fight
By Goldenwolfess

Wearily he limps away,
beaten down in his prime.
He knows that if he were to stay,
the Pant Devil wouldn't take his time

to make fun of a novice fighter.
And to think! The third time being beaten!
Just the thought makes his fists clench tighter,
and he vows, next time to win!

So he walks into his NeoHome,
into his room, then into his bed.
And before he dozes off, his mind begins to roam,
and this is what he said:

"Oh how I hate the Pant Devil,
stealing all my Neopoints and food!
Not to mention battle supplies!
Ugh! Why is he so rude?

He just takes and takes and takes,
but never gives in return.
Grr! You just wait 'til tomorrow Devil,
'Cause then it'll be your turn!

I'll max out all my battle items
with snowballs and magic wands.
I'll also get some defensive shields,
not to mention my petpet Rueland!"

And with those happy thoughts
LovinNeoWolf dozed off and slept.
His owner needed many things unbought
if tomorrow's match was to be kept.

So late in the night
while Neo, dreaming, in bed did lie,
Goldenwolfess did take flight
to buy Battledome supplies.

Morning comes, a new day dawns,
and the Lupe feels refreshed.
After the first couple of yawns
he gets up to get dressed.

He goes to eat some breakfast
and he can't believe his eyes!
There on the table sits
his new Battledome supplies!

The armour he tries on
to see how well it fits.
Then in a flash, he's gone,
saying, "The Pant Devil I will whip!"

Into the Battledome he storms
and challenges his foe.
That Devil, he comes out laughing!
But, of course, he doesn't know...

I won't go into detail,
for the battle ended quick.
But between his legs went Neo's tail,
for again, he had been licked.

So you see, it doesn't matter
what items you possess.
It matters your strength and cunning,
your hit points and the rest.

So when you fight the Pant Devil,
or any other beast,
sure, having stamina is great,
but that is just the least.

Be sure to have the items,
the speed, defence, and the rest.
Because when those qualities get put together
you're sure to be the best!
