rhyming and wasting the time,
where do you think it's going?
That's a desk not a pillow, - I loved this line. Laughed out loud when I read it. Could you consider an exclamation point? Might add some more comedy.
but all the words are flowing
nicely along crooked lines, - The visualization of "flowing nicely along crooked lines reminds me of my own writing. Nice job here. Maybe try getting rid of "but all the" might cut down some extraneous words.
they're both telling and showing. - Great line.
Deja vu, I said 'ditto'.
You're clearly not enjoying
my creative passion, I'm
cracking up and slow boiling,
just want to light a rillo -
what'd I miss? Your eyes rolling,

"say that again, all I heard was gadget lemon.
Oh this is chemistry! You said gadolinium..." - The laughter can hardly be contained. Loving your comedic voice. Sarcastic, droll, clever.


All I hear is barking dogs
echoing inside my brain
drowning anything you say.
Write it down, I sound insane - I don't like this comma. The pause doesn't feel right to me. Possibly could be reworded?
making out your word chaos.
circling endlessly through space,
crackling nonsense takes the bait,
contorting my stupid face. - Stupid feels wrong here. Words like chaos, endlessly, and nonsense make me feel crazy, but crazy and stupid are two completely different things.
Light bulbs on, an idea dawns
to break my cage in a rage,
set all these dogs free today
wreaking havoc, a rampage
timing spawns and silence calms,
but your mouth is moving, wait -

"Say that again, all I heard was gadget lemon,
Oh I just got home from work, you said God drinking again!" - The comedy turns much darker here. The transition from silly to serious is very well done here.

Banging my head on the wall,
not even noticing it's
me doing all the banging
taking and taking more hits.
Download before you install
the cream to remove your zits,
emphasis on the changing.
As good as the action gets
this battle came from a brawl,
but whatever shoe will fit,
You can see what I'm saying,
somehow my interests been lit. - Possible rewording here. The word "interests" feels sticky.
How much slower could your drawl
be, get a hold of your wits!

"Say that again, all I heard was gadget lemon.
Oh, Zaphod's thinking cap! You said gadget lemon!"
Adding the third section definitely helps. There is a great power in groups of three.
I've always wanted to live in a world where it's okay to pronounce both L's in my name.
