Here's what came out trying to write something with rhythm when read out loud.
"I have a counterplot to counteract your plummy job" "I am not plod-" "You dare say not?" "I daresay I can out palm that as fast as I can eat a ham" "I grant that you and ham don't meet as friendly as do commonly-" "And if you try to outstep me-" "You dare place threats?" "I place nothing, and neither should you out place me" And why is that?"
Someone continue it, pleae, trying to keep my rhythm, so I can see the difference between different writers style. I urge you to read mine out loud before doing so though.

Why does it seem that some people want to experiment on us lately?
And I agree with Survivor's comment 150%...

The rhythm is iambic, and with only a couple of forced spots it sticks to it. However, there is no meter; each line contains a random number of beats. So if someone wants to continue this, they need merely write "da-DUM-da-DUM-da-DUM" (or something similar but, hopefully, somewhat meaningful) for as long as they like.
However, I'll leave that endeavor to someone else.

I think I'll stick with the Bard, thanks. I wouldn't even attempt this seriously. (Although I think they forced us to try our hand at it in high school.)
