A Greased Eel In a Vat of Astroglide

Slipperier than a Greased Eel In a Vat of Astroglide That Hillary’s sociopathic streak is a mile wide In case you haven’t noticed, the fix is in But her followers love her even if she’s guilty as sin We all think she should be a woman of greater convictions Both moral and criminal, given her total lack of friction She’s got a layer of Teflon thicker than Gotti And to the Secret Service, a mouth full of potty She looks crookeder than even a barrel of snakes will Phonier than A William Jefferson Clinton three dollar bill 7/24/16 © By Author For Contest: Create An Idiom Sponsor: Jesse Day

I found your work well written and I enjoyed it for the comedic effect. The idiom is creative and fit the theme of the poem very well. The contest was highly competitive which left out about 10 poems which were worthy of placement – including this one. Thanks for entering the contest and I will check out some more of your creative work!
