Drub, drub, drub,
three Pynchon Posters sitting in a tub
One man, named Adolph, was hit on D-day
a slug drubbed his balls away
but he still had his pickle
and he loved to tickle
the other two on memorial day.
Drub, drub, drub,
three Pynchon Posters standing in a tub
paddling hard drubbing and drubbing
rubber dub dub
nymphomaniacal Alice
adept with dynamite sticks for her phallus
They rowed and rowed down the Carolina
where they discovered fragments of her drubbed vagina
One of the men claimed to be a young Aztec
He was drubbing the others with his readings of Steinbeck
and Joyce and Eliot and Wallace and McGurk
The others dozed as he drubbed and he worked
the two had a collective wet dream
awoke with a collective scream at the sky
as Alice's ass came floating by.
Drub- a -drub, drub, drub- drub in a tub
drubbing and rubbing and scrubbing the tub
sailing to Byzantium's Urn,
turn, turn, turn in the gyre,
feel the blast of Alice's fire,
turn, turn, in the Grecian Metropolis
where Gnosos is known as Papa Pooh Bear Poulos
until I see I will not believe,
Until I put my hands on Alice's callous
Until I see the blast of her phallus
I will not raise a cross at the Acropolis.
I will have little faith in the girls of Melitus
I will not dream of the second coming and
the gadgets that treat us
I believe that the virgin was born of the thigh
up cozy and rosy and high
but of coming just once, only once, only coitus
I will not believe.
Drub, drub, stuck in the tub, Starbuck and coffee and Stub
feeding the whale
going to jail
and drubbing the tale of the tub
and that is rub and the nub of my flub.
