This is electric with energy and some fun rhymes. I'm OK with the meter being deliberately rough, but line three feels wordy as well as hyper-metrical. Ah, wait... "you said" must belong to line four. Is that a typo? Or a deliberately prosaic dividing up of rhymed/metrical lines? Hmmm.
Not entirely sure about the plot of this, or the sudden introduction of "I"--but I'm willing to overlook a lot in a sonnet that rhymes Lexus with Texas.
Maybe it is part of a series?
PS line 12 scansion doesn't bother me--a trimeter is an acceptable sub. in ip anyway. I like the odd short line in a sonnet, if it is emphatic.
