Octameter- awkward meter

Octameter why?
Hard to wright tonight.
Words won't come how dumb.
Oh how shall it rhyme?
Set rhythm also?
I just don't have time.
Why is writing hard?
Grab some booze and lime.

Tequila would do.
Margaritas round.
The depths I won't plumb.
Why don't you just shoo.
Pass me that orange.
If you don't I'll sue.
Maybe I should time,
the fright of this rhyme.
