Mid-14c., “slime, greasy filth,” from Old French glete “clay, loam; slime, mud, filth” (12c., Modern French glette), from Latin glitem (nominative glis) “sticky, glutinous ground,” back-formation from glittus “sticky.”— https://www.etymonline.com/word/gleet
Fowl have a multipurpose orifice
that’s called “the vent”
with which they copulate, void, lay eggs,
and do whatever else the question begs.
Crazed demagogues are similarly trumped
(it's euphemized by neuropathy as "brain");
one might observe, the outcome is the same.
Chicken farmers, dreading what's called "gleet,"
say: “It ain't pretty—and it don’t smell sweet.”
Political scientists employ no other matching name,
noting the weird pursing of the avid mouth
when sticking it to voters without shame.
Much like the orifice that's chicken south!
