Iamb What Iamb

Why do you insist upon this meter?

I love the way it rolls from my tongue, sir!

This “jingle, jangle” scheme appeals to you?

It does to me, and many others, too.

~

From where I stand, it seems monotonous!

I see your point, but why make such a fuss?

It burns into my brain and makes me squirm!

Ah, that's the point, you see. It's an earworm!

~

No one on Earth but you likes it, you know!

Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum. Ha-ha! Ho-ho!

Oh, stop it, please! You can't keep doing this!

I can, I will, and seal it with a kiss!

~

Ugh! Kisses? Get away from me, you fool!

It's figurative! Don't be such a tool!

Okay, but please, make this the last quatrain!

Thank you for playing sir, and come again!
