Timely Rhymes

I'm trying to pass time.

It's okay. I'm alright. Everything's fine.

Though I haven't got a clue

What I'm supposed to do.

And while everyone's typing

I'm sitting here, rhyming

With words that don't really rhyme.

5 minutes of time

Just went by

And out the window flew a minuscule fly.

Shame, I really wanted it to die.

Because that fly

Hell, that fly,

It was an annoyance.

Which also rhymes with the word "buoyance."

Which is funny

Because often, in science

(Which, might I mention, is also an extreme annoyance)

The fly is used as an example of buoyance

...cy 

Buoyancy, actually

Or so Grammarly insists on telling me

Buoyancy, that's right

Though spelt wrong it might

I suppose I should take a break

But then I'd want another

I kinda miss my mother.

No, not really

Not at all to be precise

Mother just happens to rhyme with another.

You see the thing about poetry

Is that you have all these words that rhyme

And you don't know what the hell to do

So u threw

All of them away

And called it a day
