Patter Song attempt (Think of Modern Major General)

Try to read it as fast as you can I suppose. If anyone can give me metrical suggestions to capture this type of poem, that would be useful. If you spot any metrical problems and wish to share, that would be useful.


I am the very basis of a bacchic Bacculaureate.
Strait jacket is an anapest, my appetite’s insatiate.
I vomit abstract theories beating out accredited licentiates.
Distilled potatoes style me a pundit preaching proletariat.
I am a commissariat that’s fit to guide a solar chariot.

I sing iambic pentacles that reach like kraken tentacles. -- I Pilfered tentacles/pentacles from the moderator. Good one!
In Nordic myths I wax and burn both ends poetical,
And shine with Phoebus on the yellow bus with radicals.
My father stuff is bursting onto pages of my fascicles.
I am a missive pinnacle whose words will be canonical.

Aeolus is a dactyl and a father unaffectionate.
I read his prideful giant son was riven multivariate.
I’d take the catholic hag to bed, and let another marry it.
Because my ivy leaguing tendril is a model of collegiate,
I am the very basis of a bacchic Bacculaureate.
