Tertiary tints:

An uncommon woman and a common man
Youthful, savvy, political partners in crime
Differing in creed but united in need to plan
A path to the top in record breaking time

Amoral obsession that would not be denied
With a slogan that would get the job done
Connived, survived and thrived as they plied
Their plans as “two for the price of one”.

Along the way came and went alliances
Promises, compromises, obligations
Dalliances, disagreements, disappearances
Reversals, reprisals and retractions

Resulting realization and realignment
Adversaries and critics were liquidated
Attainment did not lead to atonement
Collaterally targeted were eliminated

Past being trapped by lobby agent
After failed spousal electioneering
Personal and political disengagement
However comeuppance in the offing
