A Wrong Number

Yesterday, I dialed up a wrong number

My bad, I held it unexpectedly longer

The connection had jitter

but the voice on the other side was sweet

so I persisted even when it sounded bitter!

Anticipating a relatable familiarity,

Any oddities, classifying as mere peculiarity

I thought its the right number to dial

But it turned out that

The strange voice with right connect

was another prank out of destiny's trial!

Came the moment I realized

to a wrong number I had connected the call,

Till that time, it was so powerful

it could disrupt routine, bring life to stall,

Disconnected it as fast I could

fearing a huge bill

apprehensive I stood.

A costly wrong number call

incurred a huge bill, I had to pay for

but a queer experience in return

to build character of strength,

resetting the boundaries of concern.

Alas, the wrong number is a story now

Glad even if a bit late, I realized somehow

that yesterday, I indeed dialed up a wrong number

My bad, I held it unexpectedly longer!
