Tom Quigley Poet Couplet

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

Tom Arnone August 14, 2016 at 10:32 PM Politics! Dangerous, Tom -- and, will it be understood (or well-received) one-hundred years from now. ;-)

Jesse Day August 3, 2016 at 7:53 AM 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! Tom Quigley August 3, 2016 at 11:49 AM Thanks, Jesse!

Andrea Dietrich August 1, 2016 at 3:40 PM haha. GREAT caricature of her. You came up with one of the best of the idioms , in my humble opinion!! quite imaginative, though it might take a while for folks to catch on to it!! Tom Quigley August 3, 2016 at 11:49 AM Thanks, Andrea!

Pashang Salehi July 29, 2016 at 8:24 PM I agree with Daniel Turner ..... Pashang Salehi August 1, 2016 at 4:53 PM you bet... Tom Quigley July 29, 2016 at 8:52 PM Yup, me too. Thanks, Pashang!

Tom Arnone July 28, 2016 at 9:50 AM Great line, "Slipperier than a Greased Eel In a Vat of Astroglide." Dangerous poeming (my word) politics, Tom. ;-) Tom Quigley July 28, 2016 at 11:35 AM Thanks, Tom!

Suzanne Delaney July 24, 2016 at 3:27 PM She is the slippierest of eels. Good one, Tom. SuZ Tom Quigley July 24, 2016 at 9:12 PM Thanks, Suz!

Daniel Turner July 24, 2016 at 3:00 PM Which is the lesser of two evils. A megalomaniac or a pathogenic liar? Heads I win tails you lose. LOL Love the humor, Tom. Tom Quigley July 24, 2016 at 9:13 PM Never seen two such awful candidates. We should take a serious look in the mirror...thanks!

Tim Smith July 24, 2016 at 9:37 AM LOL...Love this Tom...good old cronyism at work. All the old school Dems want a piece of the pie and they know Hillary is ripe for the picking. Tom Quigley July 24, 2016 at 9:13 PM Thanks, Tim!
