I once read “Versekunsten”, an entire book on rhyme and rhythm by the Norwegian poet André Bjerke, (which I'm highly recommending to any Scandinavian speakers with a thing for language and literature). The most interesting out of the hundred things I learned from that book, is that the amphibrach metrical foot (the rhythm of the word “potato”) is the most common, and perhaps also the quickest, way to convey a jocular feeling; take the limerick genre and this poem as examples. > In English accentual-syllabic poetry, an amphibrach … is rarely used as the overall meter of a poem, usually appearing only in a small amount of humorous poetry, children's poetry, and experimental poems. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibrach https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibrach Is this the case in languages other than Scandinavian and English?
