It should be 8 syllable beats.

At least, that is what they do say

whoever is the unknown they.

Which means a phrase often repeats

until at last the thought completes.

I get that rules should be the norm

and I ought not try to deform.

A rule tends to have a reason

because we are not all heathen.

But you know, I can’t conform.
