Farah, I like that one. However, with a little judicious cutting...ummm, slicing and splicing(?)...you might have this:
TONGUES
A gossip's tongue is a two-edged blade,
a sharp and slippery eel;
Whatever way you hold it
It slips and slices.

It slips and slices.
What do you think?

I tried rather hard to come up with some fish poem like the cool ones

TONGUES
A gossiper's tongue, like a two-edged blade,
Is sharp and is slippery as an eel,
So whatever way you may hold it,
It either cuts or slips.
