Eric the Half-a-Bee

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
