I glanced over at my much maligned cellmate – okay, my roomie, who deserves to be maligned. His torporific habits kept him bound in the room planning how to scrimshank the negligible expectations I might have of him. He was not dependable for the smallest operation of what might be seen as work. If I asked him to pick up the mail or to see how many potatoes were in the larder, I could expect a martyr’s response as he began panting and fanning himself as if he were about to have a heart attack. Was he worth it? I reviewed the reason I had taken him on as a roommate. Now I remember, his dad pays the rent.

Too funny!
Be blessed. God is in a good mood.
Thanks, it was fun to write. Nothing serious. Except that I guess it is if one sells his space to a roomie cause the father pays the bills. 😀
Clever use of the words.
Thanks, Faye. I like a little play time. 😀
Bravo! Hugs for a wonderful arrangement of words well spun!
I go for fun sometime. Of course, there is a bit of a lesson to learn – if one sells out, he must pay the price. (Guess I’m a bit of a teacher even when I don’t mean to be.) 😀
