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?



Singing...



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 Connelly?

No; Semi-carnally!

Oh.



Cyril Connelly.
