First of all, you should know that interpreting poetry is a subjective activity, so there isn't only one correct answer.

But I can give you my interpretation:

The title is unusually long, and it explains the content of the poem - which is also unusual.

I think that it's effective in attracting attention to the poem and in emphasizing the shocking content of the poem.
