Eric The Half-a-bee

Take it away Eric the Orchestra Leader

A-one two a-one two three four

Half a bee philosophically
Must ipso facto half not be
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis its entity D'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?

La dee dee one two three
Eric the half a bee
A B C D E F G
Eric the half a bee

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

Fiddle de dum 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 love him carnally

He loves him carnally
Semi-carnally

The End

Cyril Connolly?

No, semi-carnally

Oh

Cyril Connoly
