Onuki Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Kopaka the Toa was cold as they come,His silence and scowling were never quite done.Now hark to the tale of his thawing and gleeWhen he happily solved all of life’s mystery! It happened one day he was stuck in the jungleFor his Le-Koro guides their directions had bungled,When along came a Fikou, dangling from a tree,That descended and stopped to sit on his knee! It cried, “I’m just a Fikou, but I know a lot,I can teach you to tell if a fire is still hot!More importantly, I know a lot about masksSo you’d better prepare to inhale many gasps! I can teach you to climb to the top of a treeAnd thenceforth to use your Akaku to seeAll the treasure and smiles and jolly good weatherThat occur when Matoran endeavor together. I can teach you to don your Mahiki with glee,Playing pranks like Matau does so mischievously,While Matoran are guessing at what isn’t real,The greatest of laughter and mirth will they feel. Or to wear a Kakama, the Great Mask of SpeedTo rush to the aid of all those who’re in need,Whether they need a rescue from thickets of axesOr simply forgot the promptness of their taxes. I know also Pakari, that gives one great strength,Including the strength to walk roads of great length,So that you may reach Kini-Nui’s great doorOr at least help old Nuju to go to the store. And last there’s Matatu, of telekinesis,Quite useful for sending out products of ReesesOr simply to lift some stones out of the waySo that helpless Matoran can have a nice day. These Kanohi, you see, very well then will serveAs you seek to do service with gumption and verve,The Matoran will finally reside in peaceAnd Vakama will finally pay off that lease! Mata Nui’s great donor Kopaka will be,Saving Toa from tax fraud and maybe Rahi,So happy, they may halt their Quest for the MasksAs each cute McToran so cheerfully asks: ‘Who was it who saved our great island from doomWhen Ta-Koro was crowded with not enough room,Who saved us from crabs, Kane-Ra, and Muaka?’‘Never fear, young Matoran; it was noble Kopaka.’ ” But Kopaka was puzzled, he hadn’t a clue,“All these things and more I already do!What does any of this have to do with old me?”“It does not!” Fikou cried, and leapt back in his tree. 12 Quote The Latest and Fakest in Bionicle News Wanted: Chronicler | Wedding Announced | Bohrok-Kal Miffed | Staring Contest Continues Hakuna Vakama | Rau Convention Held | Globe Circumnavigated | Carver Offers Advice | Parade Possible Onepu Characterized | Koli Ball Shortage | Le-Koro Discovered | Toa Don Disguises | Top Toa Tied | Ko-Koro Welcomes Tahnok Hakuna Vakama Animation | Macku Goes Missing | In the Ice | The 1000 Word 2001 Poem | Kopaka the Toa | Honest Bionicle Trailers!

Erasmus Graves Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 This is some great stuff. Very funny, and excellently rhyming, with an ending as brilliantly absurd as anything by Lewis Carroll. 1 Quote "Mutiny, Booty and Entropy" - The Three Vices of the Frostelus[flash=250,100]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/sprxtrerme/BANNERS/thornax.swf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onuki Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks, Erasmus! I enjoyed writing the ending after all the seemingly serious stuff that comes before it!
