This Half-A$$ Poem Needs a Kick-A$$ Title… A Little Help?

I shouldn’t burden a one-liner with comments, but…

I can hear Synopsis saying, “Don’t underestimate the intelligence of your readers, who will understand the irony of the final line without the somewhat unnatural addition of “yet,” which is superfluous and somewhat misleading.”

“But Synopsis,” I whine, “if I drop ‘yet,’ which indeed suggests the relationship will be ongoing instead of over, I will lose the snare-drum ba-da-boom ending. What rhymes with ‘Not all of it.’? Not soffit.”

“A flimsily contrived verse,” Imaginary Synopsis retorts. “And that roller coaster cliché? Please.”

“How about ‘He plaintively argued, Not all of it.’? Dallas knows the word is pronounced ‘fo’git’. ”

Imaginary Synopsis utters a noise that sounds suspiciously like a Bronx cheer and disappears. I open my eyes to white walls covered with scrawls, discovering that I have changed the final line with my purple crayon.

@Lord Percy: Yes, indeed. That is what he SHOULD have said. And your eloquence is undoubtedly the reason the 400-lb. Mrs. Armistall is eating out of the palm of your hand.

@Soc: Beautiful! A one-liner poem needs a title that is an art unto itself. The "Early Pregnancy Test" Results took me by surprise but filled me with delight! (Unlike the emotions experienced by the heroine of our saga).

@P'Quaint: "Shudders" sends shudders up my spine as a title.

@Cassie: Now I'm hungry. A tantalizing hint at the appetizer before the main dish. I agree with you, sometimes it is best to leave without dessert if the entree is unappealing.

@Amos: What girl wouldn't linger after being offered such poetic words? *cough*

@Firecat: "My Better Half" seems to apply more to the firecat tom we hope is father to kittens rather than the scroungy grey-striped male now called "The Nasty Cat." Who is the better half, and how best to separate?

@ ?: I love your optimism. The One-Percent Solution? I haven't destroyed all of your life, just 99%. Give me a break.

@CW: G-forces, gender forces, as well as gravitational pull. How about G-strings? A great title for a different poem.

@Rockman: Knee Jerk Reaction might really do. Ambiguous but precise, pertaining to either character. I like this a lot.

@Lapiz: I almost wish you would get involved in another "ladylike" marriage, just to know my words were scrawled upon your walls. A wonderful compliment. Much nicer than having my poem "I'm Here For You" tattooed in a questionable place.

@Doe: fasten your seat belt and settle in for a bumpy ride with this revelation: there is no real Synopsis. He is the prize in our cereal, the alien in our Area 51, the faked moon landing, and the magic bullet. Imagine the child of a union between Mr. Chips and Miss Jean Brodie.

@Neon: Now I want to write a poem called "Raging Bull." It works on so many levels! The fact that it is also a name of a famous roller coaster is a tidbit for thrill-seeking poetry readers.

@caz: I first read your suggestion as "Heart Toilet," which made me laugh! I like your verse!

@Chef Henry: B-b-b-b-baby!

@Aubrey: I like the way you think -- The End. Ruins. But I admire the stalwart perseverance, the sense of martyrdom and doom in the words of BB... not yet; Juliet: just getting started; Gem: gonna be bumpy; and the heart-felt Nicole, who will ride this jalopy to Infinity and Beyond!

@Ashley: Forget Me Not is quite clever, adding another level. @HD, this poem is so weak, if I draw words from it for a title, it will collapse without a transfusion. What blood type do you think Imaginary Synopsis has?

@Sin: The Honeymoon Expires is very good. I didn't know a special pill was recommended. I'm trying to juggle "Guise" and "Guys."

I'm going to let my nieces choose Best Answer, but I did want people to know all answers were much appreciated.
