Hi again, Neil. I appreciate your response. If you're saying that all verses have to have exact uniformity in the number of syllables they use I would question the reason why. The Chorus is slightly different because they are meant to be remembered and so benefit from that uniformity. Having said all that, I think a little drift away from normality is sometimes refreshing in a song. There's a guy down the local watering hole plays 5 verses and choruses of Camptown Races without varying the melody each time. This is always the time when there seems to be a mass exodus to the toilets. I understand out of the box. I was just clarifying why that line felt odd when I heard it, since you said you didn't get my meaning. You still are misunderstanding my comment about the chorus...chorus to chorus there is a different melody on the word "course" The first should be as the last 2.
