Re: A comment to the song *Pierre’s Tragic D-Mice*
in reply to a message by Selwyn
Your comment concerning the possibility that "Pierre only is half horse" reminded me of the equally tragic persona of Eric:
* 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?
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.

*laughs* I would like to have a fish license
I wonder does your friend have a webpage somewhere?
I mean where he posts his texts along with some notes on how to play the melody?
I have gotten a little curious of how "Pierre’s Tragic D-Mice" is supposed to sound when sung.

Fraid not. The song sounds quite beatlesque, complete with yeah-yeahs. I'll see if I get the guitar cords.
Thank you
Perhaps he heard "I am the walrus" too many times. Nice piece of music but truly a strange text.
