THE "SONNET" THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE "GRADE" . . .

I know with that “Ode” to a “Sonnet” - It did not meet the grade . . . 

“But” that’s only on account that as a “Poet” - I never get paid . . . ; )

The thing I am now hitting on is to sort ‘em flippin’ “Syllables” out . . .

The amount of “Syllables” needed per line - I know “Nowt” about . . .

There is only so much I can cope with - “Hell” If I knew the score . . .

If not “Decasyllabic” it is not a “Sonnet” - “But” oh there is more . . .

One - two’s & three’s syllables can be found within just one word . . .

There are ten syllables to every line - soon I’ll be a “Sonnet” nerd . . .

A line in exception can be accepted to the before and after lines . . .

“Thus” can still be wallowed in - as you may wish to be inclined . . .

All seems a bit of a “Cheat” to me - because put to a famous name . . .

Seems you can do anything you wish and change the bloody game . . .

If I have to hear a “Shakespeare’s” take on a “Sonnet” - once more . . .

I am “Gonna” rip up every single one of his flippin’ so called scores . . .

“So” alas “Poor” Yorick what else are you hoping I will flippin’ say . . .  

Hope to get some learning in and maybe see you here - another day . . .

The “Sonnet” has yet to get me down - though I say it with a frown . . .

I see a “Sonnet” to beat all “Sonnets” - gone soon will be the clown . . .
