Murkowski stood, square in McConnell's path
determined to do what she knew she ought
unbent before the wizened turtle's wrath
three senators, at least, could not be bought.
Beside her, John McCain did what he'd said
and voted with the Arizonans' will
it's hard to bribe a man who'll soon be dead
to vote against his conscience for your bill.
Sue Collins proved repeal's ultimate bane
the snow-job couldn't make her bend, or blink
she serves the upright citizens of Maine
a lot of whom are living on that brink.
Until health's guaranteed in every state
there's work to do to make our country great.
