Joe Biden took the senate floor to speak
with perfect faith he'd find something to say.
Without a breath, he'd blather on all week
and too much content just gets in the way.
But video preserves his ev'ry word
to echo awkwardly across the years
a vapid argument he knew absurd
would throw a wrench into Obama's gears.
McConnell took the "Biden Rule" to heart
and swore no nomination will advance;
a confirmation doomed to never start
however perfect, never got a chance.
Mitch seized Joe's precedent and deemed it firm
to grant Obama 3/5 of a term
with perfect faith he'd find something to say.
