“It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?…

It’s a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?…

I’ve always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we’re together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor.”

For another example of pure childlike joy, written all over my face, I also have to post the photo of Anna and I meeting Ira Glass.

“Won’t you please,
Won’t you please?
Please won’t you be my neighbor?”

Until next time. May we all embody the spirit of Mr. Rogers, Ira Glass, and the child within.
