Half a bee, philosophically
must ipso facto half not be
but half a bee has got to 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?

Singing:
La-dee-dee, one two three
Eric the half a bee
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee
Eric the half a bee ‏¹

Is this a wretched demi-bee
half asleep upon my knee
some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half-a-bee‏²

Twiddly-da, twiddly-dee
Eric the half a bee
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Eric the half a bee

I like this hive employee
bisected accidentally
one summer afternoon by me
I love him carnally
Semi-carnally
Cyril Connelly?
No, semi-carnally
Oh...

The End.
