Boredomination

I guess all of us have had one of those moments when sudden, all pervasive boredom and inertia strikes us, and strikes hard! All will is lost, and we enter a state of limbo, and our head feels like it’s full of sawdust, and we ponder the irrelevance of existence! I entered one of those state a few minutes back, and have now for some obscure reason, decided to write nonsense rhyme!
If you ask how this differs from any other poetry/lyric I write, they don't rhyme! :p

Got a bee in my bonnet, buzzing bumble bee
Or maybe two, or maybe even three
’Cos my head feels like a heavy hive, where bees thrive, nine to five

Rows of neatly ordered little hexagons
Forgotten words, quips and lowly puns
Oh, how they blur and dance , twist and prance, sharpen and lance

Staring at screens of words obnubilated
A sudden noise and I feel defibrillated
Trapped in a silent scream, from a hazy dream, meandering stream

Faraway clattering sounds drift to my ears
Know no seconds, minutes, months, years
In my torpid heavy head, filled with lead, so gratefully dead

Inertia carries me, my magic carpet
Lassitude soothes me, my string quartet
Am the king at the helm, an empty realm that does overwhelm
