Sometimes it pays to be bored
Sucking inspiration from British bugs
(who themselves were inspired by Indians)

Sometimes it pays to be bored
Surfing the net without wind or waves
(although the payment might be mutual)

Sometimes it pays to get a job
Serving meals or mopping the floor
(that actually always pays, but the poem has its own rules)

However, although
Sometimes it pays to be bored
Sanity, please come back and finish your poem
(boring...)
