Piddle, twiddle, and resolve

There is a Broadway play called "1776". It is one of my favorite plays and I find it interesting about how the process went though. These men that met in Philadelphia did not want to be Americans, they wanted to be Englishmen with all the rights of Englishmen. When writing the Declaration of Independence, Adams, contemplated (according to the play) the following:

You see, we piddle, twiddle, and resolve
Not one damn thing do we solve
Piddle, twiddle, and resolve
Nothing's ever solved in
Foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy
Philadelphia!

Isn't it interesting!
