Scansion is quite difficult to master, but it's the gravy on the meat for me, I like to use it, eventually it can be done without sounding weird, like Dr.Seuss who wrote in anapestic tetrameter:

An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent.
He did start that with a trochee though, but it's still cool. Check out Dr.Seuss, he's brilliant.
