Eric, the half a bee

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
A 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
A laa dee dee, a 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
A fiddle de dum, a fiddle de dee
Eric, the half a bee
Hoh hoh hoh, tee hee hee
Eric, the half a bee
I love this hive, employee
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

With thanks to Monty Python for the Lyrics.  Half a bee because this is not a honey bee but an Australia native bee, about half the size of a honey bee.  Possibly a Green and Gold Nomia.

Thanks to Trisharooni for hosting Tiny Tuesday this month.  Oh and the extra is the Princess (Esther)  in for a dip in the fish pond at lunch time.  Suffice it to say it is now covered to prevent further  mishaps.
