The first line sounds a limping gait, it drags and hops
The second seems swifter like dancing in Poland
But count the toes upon each foot to see just why
My mad hemiolae go walking together!

Well, thanks!
I'm not altogether happy with it --- it strikes me as more numerology than hemiola, really --- maybe alternating dactyls and spondees, but with the same foot-count in each line? I can't imagine trying to string together three spondees, though.
