Trochaic tetrameter

Okay kiddo, trochaic tetrameter is a fancy way of saying that a poem has four lines that each have eight syllables (count those on your fingers!) and the stressed syllables come first. Think of it like a drum beat where you hit the bigger part of the drum first, and then the smaller part. It sounds like a bumpy ride when you read it out loud, almost like a galloping horse or a nursery rhyme! Can you try saying "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow" in a bumpy trochaic tetrameter rhythm?
