I wouldn't be upset if you hated it you know 
We all get quite set in our ways and it's fascinating to see how other people would do things, or what they respond to. That's how advances are made.
Not suggesting for a minute that you're ultra advanced... :p
For example, I sometimes get caught up in making sure a pun works -- and that stanza is pretty much all pun of some sort, only I'm so ridiculously anal that I like to include meter as well, hence the repetition with the mention of the metronome, and the time and being nonsense. Mostly I just get annoyed with people accepting the status quo... which unfortunately sometimes leads me to accept it within my own poetry, and I do like a good shake now and then.
