To offer a separate perspective for you (duke) to dwell on, I think that a sonnet is a perfectly fair form, though perhaps not the absolute best. With the subject of engineering, having a form with rigid rules, such as a sonnet, is a completely fair choice. However, being that it seems to be a Shakespearean sonnet, I find the couplet to be rather stale. It's a conclusion, but not a particularly noteworthy conclusion in my opinion.
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
