Half a bee! Argh! Half a bee! (Logically) |
|
(spoken)
Half-a-bee, philosophically Must ipso-facto half not-be. But half the bee, has got to bee 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 di di, one-two-three Eric The Half-A-Bee A-B-C-D-E-F-G Eric The Half-A-Bee Is this a-wretched demi-bee Half asleep upon my knee Some freak from a managerie? NO! It's Eric The Half-A-Bee! A fiddle-di-dum, a fiddle-di-dee Eric The Half-A-Bee Ho ho ho, tee hee hee Eric The Half-A-Bee I love this hive employ-e-e 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. (softly) ...Cyril Connolly...

|
--and I really mean that...but is it, like, a quote or something? And just how did Cyril Connolly, intriguing as he was, sneak in there? Or is it just something in the California air today...?
