Secret Santa

Lorne came back to a town that was a mess.

The dock was washed out adding to his stress.

Workers he hired to level out the street.

The rebuilding would need to get started toot sweet.

Myna seemed restless, too much time in bed

He had to do something to occupy her head.

The holidays were coming 

the Town Council had spoken

A Charity Christmas Gala they had chosen.

To be held at the town hall

Dinner, Dancing and fun for all

Myna would be great for planning

Decorations, music, food

she'd make it all enchanting

Maybe it would improve her mood.

Soon the pines were to arrive on the train.

He'd have the check the time with Mrs. Heckler again.

He got an apology letter from Whip Cracker

Roads and bridges washed out, what a disaster! 

No presents would get through.

Just then he bumped into Rue.

"Bad news?"

"The stage is stuck in Rickety

It looks like no presents for anybody.

The children will be so disappointed."

Rue was quick with a solution and so was appointed.

To collect gifts for the children, clothing, and toys

To be delivered and wrapped by those she employs.

"We can put them all under the Christmas Tree

And have a lighting ceremony."

Mayor Order said.

"Each child can take a gift before sent off to bed."

"I arrange it all with Sister Mary Grace."

Rue said with a huge smile on her face.

Mayor Order went then to find CG

To make up a poster to place all over BG.

Announcing the Gala and lighting ceremony.

She suggested running something in The Pillars as well.

Loren nodded. "Sounds swell."

He added the idea of a Secret Santa too.

Thought it the thing to do.

Wanting the adults to have a special holiday

Told CG everything he wanted it to say.

A box would be placed at the café

Minded by Gyn and AJ.

Where anyone who wanted to participate

Could put down what they wanted

and leave the rest to fate.

With all that was left

Was to see 3Gun.

To see if he'd agree

To be Godfather to his son.

Myna had picked AJ for Leanna

His sweet ballerina

He wondered if he should have

Said something to CG.

"As Loren already said,

You had better pick me."

But he'd leave that to Myna

To tell her girlfriend.

About being chosen for Godmother,

For Lucas, since she is her best friend.
