      if he’s got no sense of humor he’s a fed

      if he’s got no sense of humor he’s a fed

      if someone posts a joke

      and all that guy does is poke at it for not having perfect meter when the history of comedic music from Gilbert & Sullivan to Weird Al is rife with elongations and contractions to make a joke fit a melody

        If he’s a stickler for the format he’s a fed

        That your lines don’t really rhyme

        If he’s got no sense of rythm he’s a fed.

        if someone posts a joke

        Do you really suggest I stress that on “one” and… what, the emptiness at the end of the line? A stressed pause? Courageous.

          I wouldn’t dare suggest what you stress in an anarchy community.

          Oh, btw, here’s the ‘h’ you dropped from rhythm. Have some more so you’ve got spares.

          hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

      Third epitrite (dah dah DAT dah) aka 4/4 offbeat throughout. In the original last dah after “hands” (which is on DAT) is a pause.

      I shall simply be pointing out “Fits betER with a suit AND tie”. That ‘er’ is not a place where you can put stress, under any circumstance, and the “and” is questionable at best given that it would be the first syllable to vanish into “suit ‘n’ tie” in natural speech.
