Poems in ballad verse are nice because they can be sung to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme song (or "O Little Town of Bethlehem" for that matter).
The poems of Emily Dickinson, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," children's verses like "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and a gazillion more conform to this pattern.

I now have the tune of Gilligan's Island stuck in my head. Thanks, Sally.
Yeah, me too - just sharing the joy, I guess.
