The rythm is rather monotonus. You might be interested in this:

Great, always love a bit of melodic math, though one has to appreciate that Max Martin’s method is not absolutist. He acknowledges that it also fails as a system at times.
I use this article by Megan Lavengood with my students when discussing method in structuring parts. Might be useful.
