The Haunted House

[Leanne]

Don't be silly, David. For the most part, meter is exactly the same in any English-speaking country. Occasionally, accent causes people to elide or skip syllables (eg ce-me-ter-y vs ce-met-'ry), and rhymes will be different for some words (grass doesn't always rhyme with ass), but these are tiny differences that don't take much effort to get used to.

And Jack's syllables are not perfect, as I'm sure he'll admit
