Someone seems to have confused “no rulers” with “no rules”. Also there’s no h in ῥυθμός that’s some Anglo colonialism you’re involved in, there. You probably stole all of those from the French.
I’m not Greek and know nothing about the diacritics, but from wikipedia seems to just be ρ with rough breathing. Should be “rhe”? I may be saying the complete obvious, that’s just what I got from the wiki :p
Third epitrite (dah dah DAT dah) aka 4/4 offbeat throughout. In the original last dah after “hands” (which is on DAT) is a pause.
I shall simply be pointing out “Fits betER with a suit AND tie”. That ‘er’ is not a place where you can put stress, under any circumstance, and the “and” is questionable at best given that it would be the first syllable to vanish into “suit ‘n’ tie” in natural speech.

This meme format has legs
Or a computer scientist. They seem to be sticklers for format as well.
Are they the sticklers, or is it the lazy ass compiler?
If he’s got no sense of rythm he’s a fed.
Do you really suggest I stress that on “one” and… what, the emptiness at the end of the line? A stressed pause? Courageous.
I wouldn’t dare suggest what you stress in an anarchy community.
Oh, btw, here’s the ‘h’ you dropped from rhythm. Have some more so you’ve got spares.

Not acknowledging that that rough breathing mark is an “h” is the real Anglo colonialism here.
Joke’s on you, am not an Anglo.
excuse me, but as a Greek, what the fuck is this
ῥ?Copied it from wiktionary, didn’t bother caring about ancient vs. modern. Especially given that the only reason I can read it is maths.

It indeed is “rhythmos”.
I know, but the letter is actually just
ρ. We don’t have a different sounding r in GreekModern greek. The word’s from ancient greek;

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ρυθμός
Notice how the modern word dropped that diacritic
Jazz nursery rhymes
Good idea, but change the “someone” to “somebody”. Breaking rules on purpose doesn’t work if you also break them on accident.
i love jokes. i’d love to laugh at one someday.
I thought it syncopated just fine.
knock knock? You know we have DOORBELLS right?!

Yeah, that one line needs fixing:
If his haircut’s tight and high
And it fits a suit and tie
Alternately, and slightly more poetic:
Fits just right with suit and tie
