If we must have such poesy
Are all rhymes to be outlawed except in "Wordplay and Fun", tsuwm, even if they are relevant in the context in which presented, and even if they are not witty or funny, but rather wise or sad or profound or simply cheerful.
Shall we frown on a rhyming couplet from Hamlet or Macbeth or King Lear which illustrates a point simply because it doesn't appear in "Wordplay and Fun"?
And what of free verse? Is free verse to be consigned to the "poesy" bin?
And, just as there are those who, like yourself, think of "poesy" as something which must be accommodated only grudgingly [as you say, "If we must have poesy"], what is the quid pro quo for those who feel the same way about technical discussions of parts of speech and rules of grammar? To some, these discussions are at least as unrewarding as "poesy" is to you.
Will we create a new bin for "Grammar and Parts of Speech"?
Will we also create a bin for "Obsolete Words"?
Just asking.
