I thought perhaps, now that Pantygynt's imprisoned bride has broken free, we should give her a good time. Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Knowing she's not fond of anapests (da da DUMs), here's a dactylic offering.
The rhythm of the dactylic foot is DUM da da. This rondeau redouble for kiwisteveh's contest has four of them in each line, so I guess it's in dactylic tetrameter.

Rules for a Redoubled Rondeau are that it is written on two rhymes, but in five stanzas of four lines each and one of five lines. Each of the first four lines (stanza 1) get individually repeated in turn once by becoming successively the respective fourth lines of stanzas 2, 3, 4, & 5; and the first part of the first line is repeated as a short fifth line to conclude the sixth stanza. This can be represented as - A1,B1,A2,B2 - b,a,b,A1 - a,b,a,B1 - b,a,b,A2 - a,b,a,B2 - b,a,b,a,(A1).

I'm pronouncing miserable as mis'rable.
