I don’t really think the difference between – u – – and – – u – in the unaccented middle of the line really makes any difference for the scansion. | |

The endings of the four lines are unchanged, and replacing "don't give a -blank-" with "couldn't care less" seems to be compatible if you enunciate the "n't" syllable in "couldn't". | |

(inserted first 2 lines of original poem to make all rhyming issues/non-issues clearer.)
