Please don’t kill my darling filibuster,
says Moscow Mitch with what poise he can muster.
Just put yourself in my shoes, he will bluster.
But, soon, he’ll be abandoned, just like Custer.
He’s afraid Dem Sens will stampede left,
and take away the bullshit they can heft.
Abolishing obstruction would be deft,
leaving him defenseless, senseless and bereft.
You’ll regret it if you change our ways,
says Mitch in fear of minority days.
He used that veto power like a craze.
But now he’s old and this is a new phase.
