Hop onboard the overthinker

Hop onboard overthinkers

A warm Welcome aboard the overthinker to all our guests, 
Especially Mr insomnia, and Mrs overthinker, both frequent flyers and our VIP guests
I'll be your minds captain for this flight, through awake all damn night,
And then on to good mornings beaming bright resort in daylight,  
We have no nap-overs or drifting-offs scheduled this is a long-ass-haul, direct flight, 
Emergency exits are located in the right and left ear, emergency lights, 
Are located along the optic nerve in case of loss of power,
We can also deploy an emergency slide down the nostrils should we encounter, 
An emergency landing over the cerebrospinal sea,
Otherwise please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy tormenting this mind with me,
 
Dear passengers this is your captain speaking,
we are experiencing some frustration turbulence,
And some drowsiness daydreaming, 
this is Likely to continue until 4am so please remain seated, 
As our head is hitting head on, stormy pillow clouds, and alas 
A tossing and turning tornado has formed in our flight path,
Forcing us to go around the temporal lobe which will mean a delay to our arrival, 

Passengers you can now lift up your eyelids once the kettles foggy fog,
Has cleared you'll be able to see the sacred sea of coffee,  
And as we loop around the kitchen island there shines a good mornings sunrise, 

Passengers we have arrived at our destination, good morning, 
Upon the irises horizon is the sunrise dawning,
Here the local time is 5am and the current temperature is about 36 degrees,
Welcome to our new guests and a warm welcome back to our 2 VIPs, 
We hope you enjoy your stay here at the daytime resort, 
Oh don't forget to checkout our duty free thoughts 
On your way out, I've been your mind's captain
Remember time flies when you're having fun aboard this mental contraption 
So hop aboard this mind if you are to an overthinker,
