Room for One More
Loren brought AJ home
But he couldn't do as much
"Not yet," Loren said,
"Not while that arm's on a cast."
No heavy lifting
Kneading dough was slow
Gyn volunteered
A suggestion.
"You know AJ,"
Gyn said grinning,
"I know just the guy
who can help while you're healing."
Loren agreed,
So did Ms Myna
They'll be busy with the campaign
Help was a good idea.
So Gyn went out,
And then returned
With Solomon Ray,
Her newfound friend.
AJ learned
He's new in BG
Had no place to sleep,
And worked as a volunteer
The baker nodded,
And to Ray he said,
"How about helping us here, Ray,
In exchange for food and bed?"
"You'll just help me lifting,
kneading and baking dough
After the morning chores,
You can help Unger and Hugh."
"That sounds good, Mr AJ,
But I'll be honest with you,
I know nothing about baking,
That's the truth."
AJ told him not to worry,
"I'll teach you the steps,
By tomorrow morning,
You'll be making bread."
Ray accepted,
the biggest smile he could give
Gyn reigned her excitement,
She couldn't help but grin.
AJ then told him,
"Be here tomorrow morning,
Before sunrise, Ray,
And bring your things."
Ray gave his thanks,
And went back to helping Unger
His problem with board and lodging
Was finally over.
