During roll call this morning
Ms Arthur calls all our names,
‘Pete
Tiffany
Selina (me!!)
Mick
Alex
Cameron
(he answers in a loud voice)
Grace
Rachel
right through until
Alice Zachary,
the last person alphabetically,
but before she closes the roll book
she smiles, to herself,
then calls out,
‘Mr Nokia?’
and, quick as a flash,
Cameron answers,
in his machine voice,
‘Here, Ms Arthur,
at your service
in all emergencies!’
