The Two of Us

I am sharing my room with a mouse. I saw him last night, and just now he came under the front door and walked along the wall for awhile. It seems he knows his way around.

I guess I can't complain, as it is probably his room in the first place. But it is a little unsettling--I make sure to make some noise when I start to get up and move around. I don't need to step on a mouse on my way to the bathroom at 3 am.

All of this leads me to singing one of my favorite songs by my fellow Hoosier:

Ben, the two of us need look no more

We both found what we were looking for

With a friend to call my own I'll never be alone

And you, my friend, will see

You've got a friend in me (you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there

You feel you're not wanted anywhere

If you ever look behind

And don't like what you find

There's one thing you should know

You've got a place to go (you've got a place to go)

.

I used to say "I" and "me" Now it's "us", now it's "we"

I used to say "I" and "me" Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away I don't listen to a word they say

They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to I'm sure they'd think again

If they had a friend like Ben (a friend)

Like Ben (like Ben) Like Ben
