    Default Spy at the Royal Mint

    Last Christmas I got a job at the Royal Mint as a spy. I had to watch over
    fellow employees in case they decided to take a few coins.

    I must have done a good job as they presented me with a certificate
    stating that I was the best mint spy they had had in a long time.
    Life is short ... smile while you still have teeth.

    I always thought that the Mint made coins, and the Note Printing Works made banknotes.
    So no banknotes to pocket at the Mint.
    No wonder you did such a good job.

    Someone gave me a sleeping mask.
    But I can't see myself wearing it.
