Committed to a sonneterium.  
Reduced to limericks, haikus, and puns,  
with neither Rogers nor a Merriam,  
nor Webster to consult, I feel a dunce,

unable to compose a single verse  
without resorting to pedestrian  
line endings, though I’m not at all averse  
to an occasional equestrian,

but not in sonnets, well, unless the goal  
was all along a stanza on the birth  
of a well-bred, thus consequential, foal,  
one not as yet accustomed to its girth,

then I might use equestrian to fit,  
and judge the sonnet, with its use, complete.
