GADGADSBOGEN SPECIAL PT. II

My Delicious Twirly Fruit Lip Gloss
by Sugarypixiestix2

I may have an array of gloss,
but one is particularly boss;
keeping my lips hydrated well
wherever I decide to dwell.

It smells and tastes incredible.
I'm so pleased that it's edible.
Exactly embodying Twirly Fruit
All the way to its juicy root.

Boxes of them fill up my home,
looking like a towering throne.
It's due to a fear I might run out,
which would make me madly shout.

When Gadgadsbogen comes 'round,
my lip gloss is more renowned.
Many compliments come my way,
they surely like its bouquet.

It's in my pocket all day long,
where it shall forever belong.
I sure do hope it never retires,
because I'd feel like old tires.

An Ode To Tropical Fruits
by Supremity

Green, blue, purple or green!
What a fascination! It's the most 
beautiful fruit I've ever seen!

Plain, sharp, spotted, or striped!
When I see these fruits it's such a delight!

Why, you ask? Well, I can give you 
A million reasons why!
Just take a bite out of one of them 
And you''ll shriek, "Oh my! Oh my!"

There are so many tropical fruits 
It's so hard to choose one!
I can count on Noils -- that when 
You bite out of one, you won't be done!

There's Astranna, Agueena, 
And don't forget, Azzle.
Just by their shine, you just know 
These fruits know how to dazzle!
To Blobbule, Banan, Bagguss, and more!
With all these shapes and sizes -- 
It's an absolute galore!

What makes it better, you ask? 
I'll give you a hint:
There's a Mystery Island holiday 
That makes all the Neopets sprint!
Everyone around will dance and cheer!
It's the best time of the year!

It's the Gadgadsbogen festival!
Where Mystery Island 
Celebrates all the colorful fruits!
You'll be able to eat all of them; 
It's like you found Krawk Island's loot!

So, come and sit! 
Let's eat and play!
I can promise you this:
You''ll have a great time 
And it will surely be a memorable day!

That First Bite
by Blessed_faerie

Each day in the month of Running
Is a very "good, good day."
It's a festival called Gadgadsbogen,
Which is what the natives say.

It's not only for Mystery Islanders,
But Neopians come from miles around.
They love the sun and the sea breeze,
And the tropical fruits abound!

It's a month-long holiday
To celebrate island fruit.
So, grab your shorts and sandals
And feel free to ditch the suit.

Each year, old fruits fade away
And new fruits make their debut.
You find investors all over the island
Trying to catch a few.

Previous fruits were delightful;
My favorite has been the Scalefruit.
The new fruits cover the alphabet,
From Aggleroot to Zibblifruit.

This year, we wait patiently
To see what new fruits come tonight.
I'd happily wait in line for days
Just to get that first bite.

A Gadgadsbogen Rhyme
by Nycflowergirl

There is a day that we all remember,
Which doesn’t take place in mid-December.
Where fruit is abundant as a special treat
And served on platters for you to eat.

Here is the great celebration of berries,
Which celebrates those happy and merry.
Neopets from far and wide draw near,
In hopes of hearing these very special cheers.

Splitting the thick shell of the Merryberry
For the sugary nectar -- one dare not tarry.
Or to munch the rinds of the Melow melons,
The juiciest fruit to dip in one’s talons.

Some fruits are often more fun than others,
The Octoberry, for one, is a sport for brothers
Who grasp the tentacles within each hand,
The biggest piece they all demand.

There will be a great competition 
Of Ombus seeds,
From the girth of which one dare not feeds,
For it is so much more fun if you, instead,
Shoot them at the backs of your friends' heads.

Even the brainiest of Neopians come to see
The great Plumberry, which defies gravity.
And the Snowberries -- an interesting treat,
Which refuses to melt even in the hottest heat.

And those interested in beauty and fashion
Will adore the perfume of “Zibblifruit Passion.”
It is definitely true there is something for all,
The Bomberry, for one, 
Makes a great hot-potato ball.

Whatever be your 
Unique and strange preference,
There is, for sure, a fruit on reference
To fulfill your wildest and yummiest dreams
On this great holiday of tropical gleams.

The Techo Who Crashed The Party
by Tj_wagner

Through vines and twisted tropical trees
A Techo walked, stalked, and weaved.
Harry was the name of the exploring chum,
Along with his companion
The Poogle Bloomplum,
And they were prepared, 
For neither was dumb.

Harry forged bravely, although quite lost.
He had already calculated what this could cost.
For, his very reputation was at stake
And he had to prove that he wasn’t a fake.
This was a chance that he just had to take.

“This way, Bloompum!” he yelled with heart,
“This is the path that will be the start.
We’ll track our way into pages of old.
We’ll be remembered as brave and bold,
And be rewarded with Neopoints of gold.”

At last he stepped into a clearing fair,
Only to see a jolly group gathered there.
Fruit was stacked on a table, full and high,
And Harry could only sadly sigh.
“I’m sorry,” he said, “I was just passing by.”

Upon hearing this, Rufus jumped to his feet.
“Don’t say that like you’ve accepted defeat.
We have plenty fruit and all of its hardy.
Stay and join the Gadgadsbogen party.
We just started, so you’re not even tardy.”

The Kougra continued, 
“I’m the Grand Bogen here,
So you’re welcome to join us. Have no fear.
You’re our guest and I won’t take a no.
At least try some fruit before you go.
These are the best 
That Mystery Island does grow!”

Although disappointed 
He hadn’t found something new,
Harry smiled as he decided what he would do.
“Come, Bloomplum,” he said with his usual flair,
“It’s rude to just stand by and stare.
Let us have fun as if we had not a care!”

Jhudiah scooted over, as did the Tiki Tak Man,
To make room so Harry didn’t have to stand.
Vik smiled brightly, 
To show that he wasn’t mean,
As did Kyishi, the sprained limbo queen,
And they begin a party 
Like none had been seen.

Harry ate the Froozle and found it sweet,
And in the limbo competition he did compete.
He wasn’t the best but he wasn’t the worst,
And the Blue Cocofizz quenched his thirst.
Through this his bruised ego 
Was thoroughly nursed.

He became part of history, 
Although not as he had dreamed.
But this was even better, 
In the end, it seemed.
The party was great and a total win,
Even for a Techo who just wandered in,
So went the great celebration 
Of Gadgadsbogen.
