taTUM taTUM tata TUMTUM taTUM
or wherever you need to put it in the line.
English has so many prepositional phrases ("in a ... " "at the ..." "to a ..." etc.) that this one comes in very handy.
But, this use also has its demands: the poet will need a strong pair of one-syllable words (better known as "adjective" followed by "noun") to fit the TUMTUM that follows.
And that's just one example.
Keep scanning!
