I Found A £20 Note

[Nicky Nu]

I’m walking to shops and what do I see?
I see a £20 note just looking at me
So I pick it up, shake it off and grasp a feel
Hold it up - to the sun - checking its real
Then I make the strict decision to claim the money
And quickly move on in case someone gets funny
Trying to claim the £20 fell out of their stack
……….Getting irate and demanding it back

I get to the shops and I pop the door
And I feel a million dollars as I glide the floor
Coz I got a new addition to the family
Mr £20 note who belongs to me

Before I carry on ………..and start to ramble
It’s not very often, that I decide to take a gamble
But at times I find myself on a different wave length
Overwhelmed with …English bravery and strength…..

20 scratch cards Bob……………. you can choose em
Pick the winning ones though, I don’t wanna lose em
And just to make it even better when you’re done
I’ll do them right now and we can have some fun

So I take out my lucky golden £2 coin
Heavy in my pocket right next to my groin
And I scratch these cards in front of this bloke
But what’s happens next he assumes is a joke
Guess what’s just gone and happened to me?
I’ve won a few thousand, seven hundred-and-fif-ty
Bob my old mukka can’t believe his eyes
So I ring up the number and I claim my prize
That’s absolutely fine sir , you’re a winner you’ve definitely won
And it will be available in your account just after one
But is quarter to now I say…………………. how can this be?
He said ‘that’s exactly the same reaction as the last lay-deee’

So I give the rest of the cards to the owner Bob
And as I walk I remind myself not to turn into a knob
And try to make sure I will always be me
Despite the 6 figures deposited in HSBC

Now as I walk back there’s a person hovering around the scene
Unbeknown to this person I keep it real straight and clean
So I kindly ask this person if they are okay
Well, not really because earlier on in the day
I lost £20 right here on the floor
I’m overdrawn now, I can’t get any more
I don’t wanna get deep, but you know tonight
When I tell my Mrs. there’s guna be a fight
I love her so much but we are struggling with poverty
The recent recession has taken everything away from me
And my problems are really starting to get on top of me
Im struggling to feed…………..my f-f-f-f-fa-mi-leeeee

I only feel good when I drink some cheap cider
As the hole in my pockets just keeps getting wider
Because to some people £20 is a meagre amount
To me and my family it means with or without
So how do I explain this awful situation to my wife?
I’m starting to wander if its time to end my life.

Excuse me……..

To me you seem like a really nice, and honest bloke
To be honest it was me who found that £20 note
And right now this may be your finest hour
As I bring good news filled with humility and power
I’m about to go ahead an simply make your entire year
And make all this stress you have in your life disappear
And commemorate you my friend, on lasting so long
While the chips were down because things went wrong
Well ten minutes after putting your cash in my pocket
I felt like Neil Armstrong taking off in a rocket
Because I won £750,000 no laugh
And because its was your money bro, your getting half
Hah! I know what your saying but im not even joking son
It will be available in my account to spend just after one
So enjoy your life, you and your wife go have some fun
Because you’re financial problems appear to have all gone
So take this moment to ring your beautiful wife
And let her know everything is gunna be alright
Im going to town and you’re coming with me
And we’re going to a place called HSBC

Oh, by the way im Nick, nice to meet you

Very nice. Good story, good flow, a little over-rhyming, but it worked. Thanks for sharing.
