This morning,on the way to work,i happened to glance down at the pavement,and to my surprise i saw a figure about an inch and a half tall! He was dressed in a hat and jacket of a comely shade of green, bright red trousers,yellow waistcoat and black buckled shoes.He smiled gleefully as he held a fiddle beneath his white whiskered chin- a Leprechaun!I bent down and picked him up,and saw that,unfortunatly,he was made out of plastic.As English comedian, Harry Hill would say,“What are the chances of that?!” He has since taken up residence on top of my computer,and is smiling down benignly as i type.If,tomorrow morning, you have to step aside to avoid bumping into a madman who is paying more attention to the ground than where he is going,then feel free to join me- in looking for his pot of gold!

What did you expect? Real ones are only found in Ireland! 
I’ve seen 'em on the south side of Chicago!
I found one when I was a child.
I still have him…He still has not revealed to me where his pot of gold is.
I always look at the ground when I am walking.
Never know what you will find.
And it is also a good habit when walking through a field mine of dog doo. Step gingerly there.
What’s all this nonsense!!! Even plastic Leprechauns get lost sometimes. But they don’t turn up in Tyne and Wear. Nobody is going to believe that. Next thing, you’ll be telling me I don’t have second sight. Some people …
