Revised with new feets and beats? Am I getting closer now?

Are sonnets really such a breeze to write?
I’m thinking that it’s not worth a big fight.
Fourteen lines with rhymes written nice and tight,
should not take poetic muscles and might.
To come up with a poem that in my sight
one can compose without being too bright.
But if we look at a different light
on my past posts a poet’s ugly blight...
speaking of butts seemed to quickly ignite,
flames of upset and disdain from a height,
that almost convinced me to take my flight.
I’m not even sure I’m doing this right...
Hairy asses I can discuss all night.
Although some may think the subject is trite.

*breaking the sonnet habit...*

I don't
need rum to rhyme
about butts. 'Cause I'm nuts
enough to enjoy something hairy,
scarry?

HEY you
sonnet lovers
like rabbits, a habit
to multiply? What's there to gain?
cinquain?

Step up?
It's fun! the beat
is 2 4 6 8 2,
the rhyme is there, not to scare ya.
Dare ya.
