NOTE:a FOOTLE (singular) is,a two line lines,2 syllable verse with an integral title-Light Poetic verse form,witty,pertinent,topical etc (technically a trochaic monometer and not necessarily in rhyme).

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!
