What a horrible time for this interesting topic to have come up! I do not have the time or leisure for this, but I cannot resist.
This is how I parse tsu-s's rhyme below: 'You can 'lead a 'horse to 'water 8 But u 'can't 'make him 'drink, 6 'U can 'lead a 'human 'by the 'nose 9 But you 'can't 'make him 'think 6 I 'may be 'lost some'times 5 But 'i don't 'follow 'any'one 8 I'll 'always 'march 'to the 'beat 7 The 'beat of a 'different 'drum 8 -Lower Class Brats
There does not seem consistency in the beat, but the rhyme still works for me because of I think the rhyming, but mostly because it is consistently iambic throughout, except for the last two lines - was that what you meant by march being problematic? But I think the inconsistency in rhythm of the last two lines works. They emulate the rat a tat. I love the dactyl of the last line.
In my op, the worst word meter wise is 'every' - HOG!
