Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Toll Call

I'm getting docked a lot of pay,
One hundred and twenty days worth,
For phoning during the school day -
Not something that fills me with mirth.
I was the teacher in a class.
The students were writing reports.
I made a phone call, alas,
A breach of school rules - all sorts.
And I knew that the call was not
Allowed. But it was no big deal
Until I heard the fine I got.
I guess the school took it for real.

It was a costly call to make.
And wrong number - gimme a break!
