It’s been a while but Senators today all had their say
They voted; true, they really did; it was an unique day
In spite of Demo. opposition, Senate voted yeah
Eight Demo. Senators all voted yes no pirates loose today
The pirates of the Caribbean, filibusteros by name
They’d raid the ships so merchants waited, waited for their goods ln vain
Now sixty votes the Senate needs, a vote procedural to gain
The opportunity to vote the actual bill. I can’t explain
The rationale to have a vote, to have a vote. It makes no sense
The first bill is procedural, the one that’s filibustered, hence
So why not vote the real bill. Filibuster it? Perhaps I’m dense
We’re back to pirates of the Caribbean, only in the present tense
