The overweighting of the stressed syllables strengthen the humour of the lines . Busch also use dactyls , where one accented syllable is followed by two unaccented syllables , as in his Plisch und Plum , where they underline the pedantic and solemn words with which teacher Bokelmann educate his pupils . They create tension in the Sourdough chapter from Adventures of a Bachelor , through the alternation of trochees and dactyls . Busch often synchronize format and content in his poems , as in Fips the Monkey , where he use the epic hexameter in a speech about wisdom .
