There once was a maid named Hillary who considered her gender ancillary among men of power she raised quite a holler unabashedly shaming them skillfully
Those first two lines work wonderfully. So there is a use for the word ancillary. Good one Bill. Enjoyed the whole poem.
I can't hope to come as close but will attempt a little reply.
There once was a P.M. called Ms Clarke Here very deep voice, a bark? Formally meeting the Queen dressed in trousers. And the press chewed the fat Ranting on that!!!!
Thanks for the comments. Donna woke me up to the fact that I was mis-pronouncing "ancillary". So if you were puzzeled ove my word choices, now you know. I was placing the emphasis on the second syllable, and it rhymed with Hillary. I'm an idiot.
Thank you for the compliment and for supplying the word. I think I'll be making use of the Yahoo Dictionary's audio pronounciation option in an attempt to save myself from future embarassment.

I like the poem the way it is.
Sorry for any confusion. I'm glad you like it the way it is. I realized that the title was misleading so i changed it.
Thanks
I see her as a humanitarian conservative. She'd get my vote to, probably.
