I hear the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think they throw me out the window.

[hmmm]

And in the rooms the women come and go,
throwing things out the window.

[almost works, but the cadence is borked]

yeats gets to suffer, too.

turning and turning in the widening gyre,
the falcon cannot hear the falconer.
things fall apart, the center cannot hold.
mere anarchy is thrown out the window.
...
what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
slouches towards bethlehem to be thrown out the window?

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And threw it out the window.

I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter - bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because I threw it out the window."


this is almost, but not completely, unlike the Penis Game, wherein you substitute the word "penis" (not a synonym) for a word in movie titles.
