Pic(k) of the Week: Tiny cinquefoils

  Click on the image for a larger, hi-res version (on Flickr).

You're just too marvelous,

Too marvelous for words,

Like glorious, glamorous

And that old standby amorous.

It's all too wonderful,

I'll never find the words,

That say enough, tell enough,

I mean they just aren't swell enough.

You're much too much, and just too very, very,

To ever be in Webster's Dictionary.

And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds,

To tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words.
