Get with it " poets ". da DUM da DUM da DUM ; the iambic beat so beloved of the bush balladists, makes the same rhythm as a heart beat .
Barry Rutter was making the point that this most used of poetic rhythm in the English language follows the organic, basic human life force , hence it has the most appeal and connection to the ear, mind and soul of the English speaker.
We are interested in discussing poetic issues aren't we ?





If I'm on heat there aren't enough kilojoules to boil a thimbleful of water.

That's right Neville always thought ex pol officers were cold blooded

I don't doubt what you are saying Neville, but you might want to re-read your original post on the same

The first heart sound is made by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves. The second heart sound is made by the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves. I think I remember that right.

Sometimes there is a third - and even a fourth - heart sound, those these are usually signs of pathology. A third heart sound can sometimes be heard during or immediately following exercise. Children with fever may also generate a third heart sound.

So if your heart skips a beat . . . . . which beat would it skip?

All of them.
