To create art requires so much pain
And a title hardly acts as a crutch or a cane
As intended, it aids in walking
But the title tries to do all the talking
Clever ones to sum up the whole story
And long ones to explain the details in glory
When a simple one, plain and clear
While always available and surely near
Never sees the light of day
And is swept aside with a simple “naye”
It doesn’t take a genius to get the gist
And pick the The Girl With The Pearl Earring off the list
As one with the simplest name
For it does its job without boasting or fame
Being explicit is hard to find
For all these options are robbing us blind
The Last Supper and The Mona Lisa
Are as clear as sandwich and pizza
A last meal and the name of a woman
Are words that in contest ultimately win
No second thought is needed to give
And no interpretation is allowed to live
The only thing that I now fear
Is how to name this poem here
