(spoken) Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be. be.
But half the bee has got to be, be
A vis-a-vis, its entity - you see.

But can a bee be said to be,
Or not to be, an entire bee,
When half the bee is not a bee,
Due to some ancient injury?
A-singing...

A la-dee-dee, a 1-2-3
Eric the half a bee.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
Eric the half a bee.

Is this little demi-bee,
Half asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No!  He's Eric the half a bee.

A fiddle de dum, a fiddle de dee
Eric the half a bee.
Ho-Ho-Ho, Tee-hee-hee
Eric the half a bee.

I love this hive employee-ee
Bisected accidentally,
One summer afternoon by me,
I loved him carnally.
He loves him carnally.
Semi carnally.
The end.
Cyril Connely?
No, semi carnally!
