Here's some internal rhyme on the subject at hand. Failing to heed the perils of on-line composing, I lost an entirely different version when SI was misbehaving this afternoon.

Liz on Lookout

A tower stands in the forest lands
Atop a mountain peak
Lived all alone upon this throne
A pair of eyes to seek

Her name was Liz and it was her biz
To scan the slopes for smoke
Between her looks she read her books
But then one day she broke

"It's all around and up and down
"All windows but no walls
"I cannot bear to climb the stair
"Each time Ma Nature calls."

The lookout plan is for a man
To stand and point a-lee
And there ain't no way to this very day
For a lookout gal to pee.
