Paige and I spend a great deal of time

Up the fire watcher tower

It is easy money really easy money

As all we need to do is report a fire

And its approximate location

We very rarely spot anything that is interesting

So we amuse ourselves in various ways

On hot days we work quite naked

(how would we explain that)

The uniforms were designed for December

At other times we just sing together

Or throw things from the tower

The sense of boredom

Can be overpowering especially on wet days

We always try to share shifts

As we know each other very well

Perhaps too well that is the danger

I hope that we do not end up disliking each other

Our relationship is based on the shift patterns

Sometimes days pass without us seeing each other

We have been known to spend nights in the tower

Which is against the rules but nobody cares

This is a quite magical occupation

High above the trees sharing the stars

One day all of this will end

Paige and I will go our separate ways
