Half a bee, philosophically, 
Must, ipso facto, half not be. 
But half the bee has got to be 
Vis-à-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 Connelly? 
No; semi-carnally! 
Oh. 
Cyril Connelly.
