Tongue-in-Check
Gyn couldn't help but dip
her fingers on the pot
Once the words come flowing
She found it hard to stop
From fake alien garters
and dinners interrupted
To undergarment choices
No topic's off limits
But the sheriff's had enough
She's become a pain in the rear
Lately she's been targeting
His and CG's fiery love affair
He went to the cafe
To talk to AJ about Gyn
She's been behaving badly
It's time for discipline
AJ promised the sheriff
To keep her in line
She'll be grounded in the cafe
And is to go straight home at night
AJ took Gyn aside
when the sheriff left
No more snide remarks
No more spreading rumors
"But! But! I'm innocent!"
She tried to reason out
But AJ wouldn't hear it,
"No buts, Gyn, you have to straighten up."
"I know the sheriff's just kidding,
But he said he's said he'll test the new jail on you.
Promise me, Gyn, please behave,
Its for your own good."
And so it was set
She was grounded in the cafe
No more mischief, no more gossip
No more roaming BG by day
AJ left her alone
To be quiet and to think
Of what she did wrong
And how to resist getting into mischief
She bowed her head
While she dried her tears
When someone
playfully pinched her ear
Gyn looked up,
It was Ray, grinning wide
"Grounded, eh?"
Gyn nodded in reply
"How long?"
"Two months."
Ray clicked his tongue
And sat beside her
He looked her in the eye
And grinned even wider
"You know, AJ said,
He should have grounded you for life,
But he said he couldn't do it
When you got all teary eyed"
Gyn grinned too
"AJ's a big softie, kid
He just wants what's good for you
So don't worry, you've got me for company,
Two months would be over soon"
