Those are great!

The rythm, if they're to be entirely proper, should go like this:

DA dum dum Da dum dum
DA dum dum Da dum dum
Da dum dum Da dum dum
Da dum dum DUM

Or the last two could be:

DA dum dum DA dum
dum DA dum dum DUM

And then repeat one of the two variations in the second stanza.

A rythm of "DA dum dum" twice in one line is what makes them double dactyls.
