New Roommate, Chapter 2
I have the need to be alone, to hide away, sequester,
but my roommate never leaves the room! She’s somewhat of a nester.
She seems to be ensconced here with her creepy boyfriend Lester,
and my irritation’s turned into a boil about to fester.
I may not make it to the end of the next semester
when I can find a roommate who is less of a rester.
She can be a talker or messy or a jester.
She can use my makeup, wear my clothes or gripe and pester.
In fact, I will take anyone short of a child molester,
so long as she’s a roamer—a gad-about, a quester!!!!

A wonderful transition from sequester to quester — reminds me of the game of changing the first letter to come up with a new word!

That’s sort of my poetry process, Janet!!

Interesting that I’ve not noticed it before — I guess I concentrated on sequester and quester more closely than I usually do on the rhyming words ~ ~ ~

That’s good when the rhyme is exact but still isn’t obvious!

Maybe also just a result of our conversation about Duck/Dux/Deux!
