An English mnemonic for remembering the rhythm of dactylic hexameter (as used in Virgil's Aeneid):
Down in a deep dark ditch
Sat an old cow munching a beanstalk
Out of her mouth came forth
Yesterday's dinner and tea.

The benefits of a classical education, old boy... i.e. no fucking use to anyone.

I just remember the ends of the lines are always "strawberry jam-pot"
dactyl - spondee. You just have to work out the rest by position or nature.

I fucking HATE scansion.

Actually...
2nd declension neuter plural nomative, vocative and accusative all end in an 'a'. If you care about scansion, it's a short 'a', too. You dropped an 's' in your third singular of 'to be' as well, but i'll let that slide as it's probably a typo.

Also, pfft! Who care about usefulness? Learn it because it's interesting! (Warning! - Latin grammar may not actually be interesting to normal people.)
