Wind Up

I often have this wicked thought
Of tricks to play with a twenty pound note
I'd take my fishing reel and rod
And attach the note with a knowing nod
I'd cast the note upon the street
Right in front of peoples feet
Then slowly I would start to retreive
And see how many I could deceive
I know I would start to guffaw
At the people who I saw
Chasing after that rogue twenty
I'm betting there would be plenty
So if you are out and you see
A slow moving rogue twenty
Do not give chase hastily
I'm winding you up, can't you see!
