Borovan Day Special

Borovan, Anytime
by ameilae

Snowed in and stuck, 
Well then aren’t you in luck!
Pick out your favourite mug, 
And let’s make a hot cup of Borovan!

Shave the chocolate, heat the milk, 
Add cinnamon and honey, oh it’s smooth like silk! 
Stir it up with some fresh asparagus,
(It’s quite good in case you’re curious).

You don’t have to just drink it, there are many food recipes, 
Even lasagne, even collectible Plushies!
You can also make Borovan Brownies, Borovan crepes, 
Borovan chicken, they’re all really great!

A cup (or a cookie) a day will have you feeling sublime, 
You can’t go wrong with this Neopian icon, as it’s great anytime!

Verses About Borovan Day
by macosten

Frosty weather, chill winds blowing 
Over the rooftops in its path,
Ravaged by hail, by snow, by sleet;
Endures a town's hearths all glowing
Veiled by winter's terrible wrath,
Everyone brewing up a treat.

Rolling boil, heating up milk
In goes asparagus, steeping
Next, dark chocolate, smooth as silk
Poured into an extra-tall mug
One sip sends the cold retreating
Very tasty, feels warm and snug

Erstwhile icy feelings melt
Relaxed Neopians heartfelt 
That underneath the midnight blue
Yuletide traditions still hold true

Twas the Neo-night Before Christmas
by moonandflowers

'Twas the night before Christmas, the stars brightly shone
Not a Miamouse stirred, not in one Neohome;
The tree decked with ornaments, presents beneath
With names of the Neopets they'd soon bequeath.

The Holiday Borovan now put away;
While Baby Pets dreamed of their first Christmas day.
And I, myself, settled down into my bed;
Excited for dreams coloured all green and red.

But then, out the window there came such a fuss
My mind filled with fear  - had a void attack struck?
I hurried my way to the dark, frosted pane;
Threw the curtains aside to reveal the sight plain;

The moonlit snow painted the world all in white;
I mistook it for grey in a moment of fright,
Until I did see, though I scarcely believed,
A miniature sleigh with eight Kau at the lead!

And there was the driver of that fabled sleigh,
Much skinnier, though, than the tales of him say;
The Kaus tossed their heads almost though they had manes,
And the man on the sled called them all out by name;

"Now, OMELETTE! Now, ADVENT! Now, JELLY and PLUSHIE!
On, SNOWAGER, BATTLEDOME, PAINTBRUSH and JUPPIE!
The spirit of Christmas lasts only one night!
Fly on and fly further before the sun's light!"

I stood, mouth agape, as the spectacle grew;
With only these words, yes, I swear the Kaus flew!
I heard them above me, their hoof beats so light;
And the twinkling of bells as they ended their flight.


They circled the houses with grace and with ease;
Til finally landed on my rooftop eaves.
I ran for the stairs, taking two at a time;
I couldn't believe and yet knew what I'd find;

A little old Nimmo dropped into my view;
Clad red, head-to-toe, save for soot from the flue;
He hefted a large bag of toys from his back
And from it, produced presents already wrapped.

His lank, nimble form crossed the room in a stride,
And he laughed at my note with the cookies beside.
His twinkling eyes matched the lights on our tree;
And beneath a white beard, he smiled at me.

He worked with efficiency, doling out gifts
While a bright, merry tune whistled out of his lips.
He unloaded Uskis and boxes of sweets,
And when he was done, he turned back to me;

With a wink and a nod (and faerie spell, too)
He rose up the chimney without an adieu
I ran to the lawn so to watch him depart,
(Though shoe-less, my feet in the snow sure did smart)

He mounted his sleigh and the Kaus seemed to know
That that was their signal; they readied to go
I heard the man call as they started their flight:
"Merry Christmas to all! And to all, a good night!"

Borovan Day Gift Basket
by betti666

When you want to celebrate 
In a very specific way
There’s a special gift to give
To observe Borovan Day

If you take a sturdy box
Label it for a friend
Fill it with Borovan goodies
The fun will never end

In a basket you can place
A variety of treats
Like a big Bar of Chocolate
Or Wintermelon Sweets

It’s seasonally appropriate
To provide asparagus stalks too
Their flavour in the Borovan 
Can be tasted mixed through 

Finally, a mug from which to drink
Round and green and brown
Warm it up a pot on the stove
And really go to town!

A Hot Cup of Borovan
by shenkuun

The cold winter months surely demand
A hot steaming cup of Borovan
Enjoying it by a warm fire is the best
A perfect gift for Taelia when completing a quest

Throw in some marshmallows to sweeten it up
Watch as they slowly dissolve in your cup
Add a dollop of whipped cream too
A great addition you must pursue

Borovan is great to enjoy with a view
Look out the window at the wintry hues
Cozy up in a little nook
Sip your Borovan as you enjoy a book

Borovan is best enjoyed more than once
To warm you up during the icy months
Make sure that you prepare it hot
To warm your spirit and your heart

Adorable Abominable Snowball Borovan
by ningkov1

In a large red mug 
Feeling as warm as a hug, 
The Abominable Snowball closed its eyes 
And smiled in surprise 

Wintery Pets and heat not a match 
But Borovan is the catch,
The perfect drink for all 
From winter back to fall 

Hot chocolate so sweet 
For the Snowball a delectable treat,
Seeping into the snow 
Body troubles begin to flow 

Asparagus healthy and strong 
Eat some and live long,
Little pieces soft and tasty 
Savour the Borovan time and don’t be hasty 

The Abominable Snowball melts away 
Don’t worry he’ll live another day, 
Jump out of the mug and roll around 
When full of Borovan, you’ll never frown

Many Ways of Borovan
by sierrasiobhan

Borovan is
A magical drink
The more you have
The more you think

So many ways
You can brew
Cook it in brownies
Doughnuts or roux

It can be baked,
Boiled, and broiled
Sauted, kabobbed,
Deep fried in oil

There is no limit
To what you can make
Have a cup of Borovan
With pavlova or steak

Forever this drink
Is held on high
May your thirst for Borovan
Never run dry

Bonju’s Borovan Bananza
by iciclefaerie05

Bonju’s been brainstorming Borovan, 
A plethora so to speak, 
Why just stay with the same old recipe? 
When new varieties could be so chic? 

Bonju babied budding bulbs
Of three different asparaguses! 
Green, purple, and white stalks galore- 
No, this is not full of superfluous-ness! 

Bonju brewing bountiful beverages
Simple milk chocolate is not enough, 
Try mixing up the chocolates with white and dark, 
Creations so off-the-cuff! 

Bonju bounces between brews, 
Rows of three by three, 
With nine different drinks to try, 
Wonder which the favourite will be? 

Bonju basks, beholding bowls-o-Borovan
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo… 
Which warm mug to choose? 
(Dark chocolate stirred with white stalks
Or white chocolate stirred with purple)
Catch a Kougra by the toe… 
Will the palate be amused? 

Bonju’s blustered, begetting bothered brow
This does not taste quite right… 
He grabs a milk with wilting green, 
Now this one’s a classic delight!

Abominable Snowball Borovan
by draik_bianca

First dip into Borovan stew,
A comforting feeling floods right in.
Floating weightlessly in hot goo,
Passed around and shared with kin.

As worries begin to melt away,
So does melt the Snowball's feet.
Heat of Borovan keeping cold at bay,
Until the ritual is complete.

Halfway gone the cup feels tall,
Be careful not to spill the rest.
Time is short for the Abominable Snowball,
But this Borovan may yet be the best!

The warm liquid up to his eyes,
He sees you take the second-last swig.
Surrounded by friends, the time just flies,
Still sharing warmth and cheer so big.

The Abominable Snowball Borovan has gone bye,
Not a single drop left in the cup.
He was only biscuit and mallow so no need to cry,
Another Borovan order coming up!

She's even got her serving tray.

Who is she? You may be asking yourself.
She's the cutest toy on your shelf!
It's Miss Borovan Usuki Doll herself!

She's got her Cup of Hot Borovan,
It's her favourite day of the year,
It fills her up with cheer!
She swears there's nothing better than...

Borovan for breakfast,
Borovan for lunch, oh yes!
Borovan before bedtime, the best.

Asparagus and hot chocolate become magic,
when you put them together and stir it up.
