Sonnet 44 'Nobody Wants a Well, When There Is Sadness'

Nobody wants a well, when there is sadness... A few drops are enough, to bring on rain! The world is full, of sorrow, and of madness! Nobody needs the bottom of the drain... The purists count emPHASis and sylLABles! They like to see beans laid out, in a row! They have no patience with an one, who babbles! Believe the Sun should not put on a show! But... we need purists, for they keep us clean! Demand a higher standard of the lazy! They state: 'it's not enough to be serene!' (And unneeded enjambment Drives 'em crazy!) But we can only meet their standards, if The while we write, we're clinging to a cliff!
