Bee Jesus

Pliny went to a Lunch Hour Concert this afternoon, with his mum. They heard Messiaen's "In praise of the eternity of Jesus" and "In praise of the immortality of Jesus".

Pliny wondered how the eternity of Jesus could be different from the immortality of Jesus, and why either of these things needed praising.

While he was pondering these ineffable mysteries, a bee came and sat on his head. At least he thought it was a bee, but it was a fly.
