Tales of the Invisible Ben

A Gentle-Ben in Japan

Really, I should be writing about my new apartment and the recent conclusion of my fellowship in the big city, but right now this seems far more relevant.
My apologies in advance to Gilbert, Sullivan, and anyone who likes or is even remotely familiar with their work.

(ahem)

If you want to know where Ben is...
He'll be traveling to Japan.
On a jet for fourteen hours
Or at least that is the plan.

He's going to give a talk.
Ideally, said talk will rock.
If not then the crowds will mock...Oh!

You may think this is all a scheme
To go on a fun-filled trip.
Well you sure know how to dream
This is simply for scholarship.

Perhaps you suppose that Ben
Will blog his trip once again
On wifi that does depend,
Oh! Oh!
On wifi that does depend...

If you want to know where Ben is,
He'll be traveling to Japan
By train, then jet,
and maybe van?
For many, many, many, many
Many, many, many, an hour
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
He has a talk
It's in JA-PAN!
