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](https://meganlavengood.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/maxmartin.pdf) with my students when discussing method in structuring parts. Might be useful.
