Getting Ready

Loren had finished her set

Was she eager? You bet!

As today was their double date

And she refused to be late.


She got all gussied up

Pulled out her best dress

Got a glimpse of her hair

"Oh Dear! What a mess!"


"Can you help me with this tie?

Why am I so nervous?"

Loren giggled at her brother.

"I'll give you one guess?"


"Myna." He shook his head

His thoughts of love long ago dead

Have suddenly resurrected 

And now to feelings he's subjected


He felt like a teen

Red he had seen

When it was mentioned

Her polishin' boots.


3Gun said, "It was the SSS

They were all in cahoots

To make his life a mess."


And Lorne didn't' quite get the rest

He mumbled as he walked away.

Somethin about understandin'

Less and less, with each passin' day.


Now Lorne was dressed

In his Sunday best,

"Oh Loren, I hope she'll see

Through this polish and

Realize underneath

I gotta be me..."

Loren kissed his cheek

You'll do just fine.

"It's just dinner, some dancing

maybe some wine.


Now go down stairs and wait

I promise I won't be late

But I have to do somethin' with this hair."


"I doubt AJ will care. He can't help but stare."


"Shut-up and get. I ain't done impressin' him yet."


"Fine, have it your way. It's been a really great day."

He left without another word.

He had not heard

The song she sung to herself

As she made sure she was top-shelf.


One final glance met with her approval.

Her heart filled with joy.

Soon she'd be with him again.

Her Honey boy.
