Surry Goat
AJ was happy
But he was nervous too
First time as a godfather
He didn't know what to do

Should he give her gifts?
Teach her wingchun for self-defense?
Beat up, potential bullies?
Thinking of it made him tense.
He wanted to ask Loren
But she was busy cooing over the twins
He's too shy to ask the mayor
Didn't dare to ask Gyn
Then he saw the sheriff at the cafe
He shared the same role
As a godfather to Lucas
He must know a thing or two
"Hi, sheriff." AJ greeted,"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, ask away."
The baker inquired
About the duties of a godfather
3Gun tried his best
To give a clear answer

"That's easy AJ,
I asked Ms. Harriet all about it.
We're to guide them on the moral path
And if something happens to the Orders,
We get to be sugarcoat parents to the kids."
"Sugarcoated parents?"
"Not sugar-coat, AJ, surry goat."
"Oh, alright. If you say so, sheriff."
AJ didn't ask more,
As 3Gun seemed so sure
He left him to his coffee
And served an extra muffin for free
He went back to the kitchen
But heard voices from his room
He heard two hushed voices,
It was Gyn and Lil Ron!

AJ wasted no time,
Barged in, and to his surprise
Ron wore an unfinished cheongsam
While Gyn placed markers on the sides
"Do I have to know what's happening here?"
The baker asked.
It took a lot of his will power
Not to laugh.
Ron blushed beet red,
gave AJ a look of plea
Gyn would have none of it
and turned the baker on his feet.

"Get out of here, big brother,
Don't mind Ron, he's helping me.
I'm making a dress for someone,
It's supposed to be a secret, you see?"
AJ understood
He turned to leave,
But he couldn't resist teasing,
told Ron he looked pretty in pink.
