  A ball at my feet is all I need My backyard where I can be for hours Not even noticing the time going by A simple touch I take around my yard brings happiness...

Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn&#039;t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
