a Sonnet A sonnet has twelve lines and then a couplet, you read it sipping wine, and eating crumpets. The structure's so perfect so set ten beats per line five long, five short, that's that! It rhymes as if it were a fool from England that Shakespeare used to show wisdom. It talks of love, and mere perfection and never ever of devil's reflection A sonnet's perfect, so graceful but I prefer my freedom, con queso.
