Joy

There once was a girl by the name Joy   
who got joy whenever she'd annoy.  
Her poor little brother 
she swapped for another.  
Now; him, too, she would love to destroy.

There once was a girl named miss Joy/who delighted some she annoyed/and her little brother/she swapped for another/For him she was out to destroy..it's NOt easy BUt if you can get to hear it in 5 short lines you can learn to use iambic unstress/STRESS...in longer forms! Keep at it and I AM NOT always right Andria dietrich is way better at meter! HUGS
