Tuskaninny Day Special

Being a Mutant Tuskaninny
by rated_arr

A Neopet doesn't need feet
to bring forth joy to those they meet.
Where feet should be is just my tail,
And slippery fins, much like a whale.

Some may assume that I'm grumpy,
Since I've been described as looking frumpy
Because my tusks are big and yellow.
Promise though, I'm really mellow.

I love to play with dolls and toys.
I carry myself with grace and poise.
I love to laugh and play and swim,
Though I mostly waddle, fin to fin.

I also enjoy the sun and sand.
There's nothing really quite like land.
The warmth of the sun upon the ground,
The lovely, gentle beachy sounds...

So I'd like to set the record straight.
Tuskaninnies are pretty great,
But I can proudly say it's great to be
A handsome Mutant Tuskaninny.

Tuskaninny Pale Blue Outfit
by indulgences

The Tuskaninny is a pet
Most difficult to dress.
I tried to customize my own,
And ended with a mess.

But then one day, dear TNT
Rolled out with outfits new.
The Pale Blue Suit and Pale Blue Hat
Were such a lovely hue.

The Suit is made of aqua silk,
And trimmed with wrists of white.
A cummerbund around the waist
Is also white and bright.

The Hat is dapper, tall and fine.
It quite completes the look.
I love this Pale Blue outfit much,
With love that can't be shook.

I normally don't customize
My Tuskaninny pet,
But one look at this outfit and
I had to buy the set.

My Tuskaninny is now garbed
In Suit and Hat so grand.
He looks so sleek and marvelous,
The finest in the land!

Little Timmy Tuskaninny

Little Timmy Tuskaninny,
Your dreams are bigger than your size
Painting Neopia red with Brucey B
Stardom twinkles in your eyes

That fateful night you visited
The notorious Carrotberry
You were destined for greatness
But be cautious, be wary

You’re young and rebellious
Card games are your trick
And at only fifteen years old
You’re everyone’s first pick

Mastering the art of Cheat!
Like it’s your second nature
But stay where you’re safe
The world is full of danger

You hope to be “a big guy”
Who everyone admires
But for now you’re just a kid
Don’t let your heart lose its fires

Brucey B taught you well
But you had it all along
Keep practicing your moves
You’ll only get more strong

Now listen my dear Timmy
You’re such a brave Tuskaninny
Don’t forget your battles
The opponents are so many

Little Timmy Tuskaninny,
Who knows the world is his oyster
Play with those who are a challenge
For at your wins they’ll all roister

Don’t settle for less
Than you know is inside you
Play better than yesterday
You have a lot to live up to

Tuskaninny Day
by she_chose_love

Today is a day for celebrations,
filled with laughter and fun.
Today is Tuskaninny Day,
where were celebrate Tuskaninnys in the Neopian sun.

Tuskaninnys love water,
and swimming all day.
Which is why we celebrate them in summer,
when everyone can splash and play.

Tuskaninnys are most happy,
when they are near the water and in the sun.
They are an aquatic species of neopet,
who loves to play and have fun.

I wonder what exciting things,
today will bring.
I hope there will be new Tuskaninny wearables,
like dresses and a gold ring.

Whatever happens today,
one thing is true.
Tuskaninnys are the star of the day,
so celebrations are due.

Happy Tuskaninny Day Neopia!

Tuskaninny Day
by fullonparanoid

One of the most cheerful of the Neopian denizens
Tuskaninnys make some of the best Neo-citizens

They are quick with a laugh or a joke (maybe two)
They want nothing more than to entertain you

They will perform silly aqua-acrobatics
Until you keel over in a fit of hysterics

They are natural comedians and would be great for the stage
They could do stand-up if they had legs!

They celebrate every day with laughter galore
But THIS day is to celebrate them from shore to shore

There are always exceptions but in near every case
Tuskaninnys make Neopia a happier place

So all of Neopia give a laugh and a cheer
We're all so lucky that Tuskaninnys are here!

What rhymes with Tuskaninny?
by happyinengland

What rhymes with Tuskaninny?
Seriously, do you know?
I'm not sure what the answer is,
But I know someone who could have a go! 

My name is Little Timmy,
I am the blue one with pink hair,
I wear ripped black tops,
With colourful stripes on my head like I don't care. 

I have a stud on my tail,
I think I'm pretty cool,
Why don't you play Cheat with me?
It's pretty old-school. 

But Little Timmy,
This is not about you or Cheat,
We want to know what rhymes with Tuskaninny,
Why don't you help us complete?

Don't call me Little Timmy,
That is not my name,
Can't you see I'm bigger than you?
Come on, let's play a game. 

One game and you answer my question,
Does that sound fair?
Oh Little Timmy,
You're causing quite a stir. 

A round or two later,
We beat his game to pulp,
He sits there in deep thought,
The suspense makes us gulp. 

I have the answer,
I know what rhymes with Tuskanniny!
Come closer,
Meet my friend the ... Whinny!

Tuskaninny Celebrations
by _interrupted_

Today is the day, 
We've all been waiting for. 
To celebrate the Tuskaninnys, 
The Neopet that we all adore. 
 
With a fun-loving nature, 
Tuskaninnys frolic and play. 
They also like to bask in the sun, 
On any given day. 
 
They are great swimmers, 
And weave through the sea. 
Minding their own business,  
This species is carefree. 
 
But how do they move? 
And travel across the land. 
Well of course they bounce, 
As they have no legs to stand. 
 
So happy birthday to the Tuskaninnys, 
We will celebrate with glee. 
Partying in the sun, 
Making the day the best it can be.

Tuskaninny Dreams
by juliakare

Bright blue crystal
pierces the willowy water.
The sun, incredibly bright and intensely shining,
reflects like a bouncing ball,
dazzling and confusing 
so that all that's clear,
are the mammoth ice sheets 
and the crisp, cool air.

If you squint real hard,
squint so that you brows furrow and grooves cut between your eyebrow,
you can make out a shadow, 
deftly swishing underwater.
It daunts nearer and nearer,
like a terrible breadfish, hungry for butter.
But you realize! Oh, how enormous, too big to be any possible fish, it's a second sun, the eclipsed twin of the cruel white giant overhead.
Its goliath strength parts the oceans,
the waves submissive to each frothing stroke,
it fins cut the ocean like a hot knife to ice cream.

The world holds its breath.

A colossal tuskaninny cracks the surface, arcing radiance.

The world exhales, leaving a tuskaninny in its wake.

You blink. 
Is this a dream? 
A bright, glittering, delirious, wonderful illusion?

As if reading your thoughts, the tuskaninny smiles, a playful glimmer in his eyes.
He mouths: "Wanna play ball?"
He paws a round red ball,
the only color besides his sheeny blue and the blue of the water for miles.
His back arches for the enveloping warmth of the sun, the fickle sun who turned soft at the sight of a smiling neopet.

You throw the ball back,
and the piercing pure laughter punctuates ice.

It takes a tuskaninny,
cool strength and childish twinkle,
tuft of red hair and red ball color,
to make the world a dream.

Simon the Tuskaninny
by dr_tomoe

In the Snowagers lair
There's treasure to be found
as he has the largest
pile of treasure around.

But as he will sleep
one might catch and see
the pillow under his head
is a Plushie Tuskaninny.

And the poor plushie there
isn't just a soft toy
but he's actually named Simon
an actual Neopian boy.

For Simon decided to try
and complete his collection
of Neggs by taking one
from the Snowager's selection.

His attempt to get a Super Negg
ended up in defeat
as the attempt to catch it as it fell
had it land on an icy sheet

And when the Snowager awoke
and made sure all was well in mind
Simon had to hide in the one spot
that the Snowager would never find.

And he's been there for years
unable to escape
for if he moves wrong 
he'll face an icy fate.

Tuskaninny's Birthday
by 9boogirl9

I woke up, only to find,
My Tuskaninny was on Cloud Nine.
He was as happy as could be,
Maybe as happy as a bumblebee! 

He was excited, for this special date,
And for the adventures, he could hardly wait.
He strolled through town, swam through the bay,
My, oh my, it was a wonderful day!

At the end we had noodles and rice,
And for supper, it was quite nice.
And for dessert, a cake so grand,
He blew out the candles while holding my hand.

It was topped with cherries, and a little whipped cream,
It was a cake, but oh so pristine!

My Tuskaninny liked it, and when he lay in bed,
I bent down, and he said,
"Thanks for giving me the best birthday ever.
I'll remember you forever!"
And then he fell asleep.

Happy Tuskaninny Day!
