Through Purgatorio with Professor 
               Mandelbaum 

Was that noetic 
Or was it mimetic? 
The linking's phonetic 
Or is it syntactic 
--I mean, anagogic 
(Or is it oneiric?) 
And slightly polemic 
Or is it Talmudic? 
Eek, was that FIGURA! 
No, that was stylema. 
And so synchretistic. 
So averroistic, 
It's doubtless Thomistic.
