Pragmatic is a terribly good word isn't it?

I've had some small problems with postings disappearing into the ether.  I became quite frustrated with the whole thing.  You should let me know if this one doesn't work! (?)

Kudos to Sean, Balt, Casey and Ema.

Go here. It's a good page exploring Sonnet 130.  Read through.  Notice how the author calls the poem 'pragmatic'. Find out what this word means and post a one word post consisting of a synonym for 'pragmatic' that you also feel describes the tone of the poem.
