The Neopetter's Ballad- by Lucy
*NOTE: This poem is actually a filk, which means it is written to be sung to a well-known tune. This can be easily sung to the traditional folk tune 'The Wild Rover'. Go on, try it! Neomail me if you want the guitar chords.*
'Twas five months ago that I joined NeoPets
And in all of that time I have had no regrets;
With a world to explore I have had so much fun
That my essays and classwork are left all undone!
And it's no, nay, never (Deckswabber's great fun!)
No, nay never, no more,
Will I leave dear Neopia
No never, no more.
I sit at my iMac till late in the night
Playing Code Breakers - trying to get it all right
Or perhaps I am shopping or doing a quest
About dawn I might manage to get me some rest...
And it's no, nay, never (Shoyrus are the best!)
No, nay never, no more,
Will I leave dear Neopia
No never, no more.
The Lost Desert has shrines and is fun to explore
In the Haunted Woods run from the Esophagor!
On the mountain I'll purchase a Negg or Scratchcard
But I find the Ice Caves game dreadfully hard!
And it's no, nay, never (All right, one more verse)
No, nay never, no more,
Will I leave dear Neopia
No never, no more.
So a Neopian citizen proud I shall be
And I'll shop and play games and earn lots of NP
My pets are the joy and the pride of my life
And the thought of impounding them cuts like a knife!
And it's no, nay, never (I think I shall stop...)
No, nay never, no more,
Will I leave dear Neopia
No never, no more.
Ohhhh... iiiiiiit's... no, nay, never (This really is it!)
No, nay never, no more,
Will I leeeeeeeeave ... dear Neopiaaaaaaaaa...
No neverrrrrrr... no more!
