The nursery rhyme "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater" is not written in trochaic tetrameter. Instead, it generally follows a pattern of alternating stressed and unstressed syllables, resembling a mix of iambic and anapestic meter. Trochaic tetrameter specifically consists of four trochees per line, which is not the case in this rhyme. Thus, while it has a rhythmic quality, it does not adhere to the structure of trochaic tetrameter.
