The Evil Roommate Poem by Projeeta Ghosh Biswas

I was very busy unpacking my stuff,
Not to mention my toys and books,
Suddenly the door banged open to reveal a stranger (named Park Min-Jae)
Who continued to shoot me dirty looks.

I thought he might be nice,
so I asked him for aid
But before I could say excuse me,
he put up a room divider and behind it he laid.

later that night, I was awake,
from all the muttering sounds he made,
I shouted to him 'let me sleep'
instead, he threw a sharpener at me which bounced off my head.

I kept thinking, even during the professor's lectures,
''What is this weirdo up to? ''
Suddenly that guy tapped on my shoulder
and asked me to come to his room.

What did he want from me?
My jewellery or my favourite gold Rolex Watch?
Instead, he just asked me that aren't you the scholar of the college,
I replied that I was surely Top-Notch.

I went to his section of the room,
which looked as if he tripped over a food pile,
Suddenly he locked the door and shouted
''I'm gonna be the college topper for a while! ''

I was locked up in a room full of books and food
to calm down I ate some yummy seaweed.
Then finally I shrieked out loud,
''Park Min-Jae...I SHALL BETTER BE FREED! ''

He was obsessed with success and power,
that he would even lock up someone better than him.
Since I had the reputation of a polymath,
It may be for a few hours or days like this but still its worse than it seems! !

I started to cry because I shall remain locked up
with only food and water to calm my soul.
But then suddenly the floor dissipated and I fell down,
down this deep, deep, deep, deep black hole.

I heard some sizzling sounds and the divine smell of barbequed meat,
also a familiar ''hey, you have been sleeping for so long! ''
My eyes were half open but I looked up...
and saw my brother (roommate) putting away the tongs.

My hair was messed up, I slept while studying,
While my brother made me my favourite food
He said '' Now sis, quickly eat it and help me to study...''
but I said, '' Park Min-Jae, The meat is too good! ''
