All the king’s horses and…

Once upon a time there were three childhood friends. We’ll call them Ay, Bee, and Sea. First, they adored each other like siblings. Then, they adored each other in circles. Ay fell in love with Bee. Bee fell in love with Sea. And Sea? Sea seemed immune to such crushes, until he decided far too late that he might return the love of Bee. But by then, see, Bee had married and divorced Dee, so she could only shake her head at the belated professions of Sea. (See?)

So what happened next to these three? Saturday, Sea marries Vee. This delights Bee, who greatly admires Vee, and who will dance at the wedding with her beloved See. (See the resemblance? No, see Bee's corrected vision.)

Ay can’t be with us for this red letter day. That’s because Ay is now a priest, devoted, you might say, to the Capital Gee.

Now you know my Ay, Bee, Sea. This is all of it true. Swear to Gee.
