METRICAL FEET
METRICAL FEET
You like a group of syllables, maybe in trochee feet,
But I find that spondee or dactyl is a good measure of stress:
So when the question’s “What’s afoot?”, it’s not always “Twelve inches”.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .
NOTE
*The expression “ What’s afoot? ” is old-fashioned English
for “ What’s happenin’? ” or “ What’s up? ”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .
