Hi there! Yes you..
Today I am your chauffeur.
Where may I possibly take you?

You seem a little distant.
Don't be confused.
Enjoy the ride.
I'm sure you'll leave amused.

Let me tell you a story about Scrooge.
He was an evil man.
And his wealth was huge.
Soon enough however.
He'd curse his lavish dues.

I tell you this.
Because you are destined for Scrooge's fate.
A lonely death with neither friends nor mate.
So fix up my friend.
Before it's too late.

I hope this journey.
Has proved somewhat beneficial.
A trip down memory lane.
That's £14 Mr Mitchell.

Before you leave.
Let me show you the future.
Look ahead.
There's your wife and newborn daughter.

You've changed your ways!
Well done my friend..
Life is a divine bounty.
So protect it with all your strength.
