I'll grant you a couple of the cheers in Rainbow Falls, but I suppose what it comes down to is context. Aside from the musical elements that are clearly sung, the entries in the list were all performed in the context of song pieces or musical breaks in the episode's dialogue. Each has a consistent measurable rhythm.

Not in the case of Trenderhoof's poem -- the lines aren't sung, and there's no consistent rhythm or beat. Because it was spoken in the context of a poem, not a song. If all it took to qualify as a "musical element" was that it had to rhyme, Twilight's spell in Magical Mystery Cure, Nana Pinkie's story in Too Many Pinkie Pies, and ALL of Zecora's dialogue would also apply.
