Crisp and fresh at the start of my journey <br />I come at a price your have to earn me <br />Stored in the bank then im disbursed <br />Through a hole in the wall and straight in your purse <br />No time to rest im changing hands <br />And into the shops till im slammed <br />Shut away with familiar faces <br />When im exchanged, another replaces <br />Stuffed into the pocket of a strangers jeans <br />Unscruffed and straightened then stuffed in a machine <br />In I go, pushed in at an angle <br />Used and abused for the sake of a gamble <br />Left in the dark, then out a few of us springs <br />Me and another Is what this smirking man wins <br />Lead away but not very far <br />Handed over for a round of drinks at the bar <br />Before I could rest I was exchanged again <br /> placed on a table with to creepy old men <br />I hoped I wouldn't be stopped here long <br /> The men got excited and I was slipped in a thong <br />After the show I was pulled out from below <br />Rolled into a tube that she put in her nose <br />Then I was placed into the palm of a shady chap <br />That folded me in half and passed the girl a wrap <br />Added to a stack were we all looked the same <br />On a green table in a high stake card game <br />I reached the biggest pile and the player made a fuss <br />Cause he just won me and many more in a bluff <br />Swepted us off the table in a black brief case <br />Next thing I knew I was transferred into a safe <br />Get a chance to rest till the next cycle that I make <br />don't love me to much though or your be tempting fate <br />Im the cause of your greed, gluttony, envy and lust <br />But you still desire me cause I am a must<br /><br />nic hillen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-twenty-pound-note-days-journey/
