FOOTLE the background bio

in 2009 whilst word-playing around
the trochaic monometer I then found
two lines short& sweet
terse enough to tweet
an integral title is also vital
for this recitative recital
christened it 'footle' as a memorable name
Sadly- it is my only claim to fame

FOR THE RECORD
FIRST FOOTLE Jan 2009 (Plural footles never really appealed- I prefer my original creation)

Bonnie & Clyde

too snide

both died

Doesn’t matter that it’s your only claim (doubt it). It is a fun one and is used all the time!
