How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love you like a camel loves his humps,
Like photos love their image, like bumpcars bumps,
Like cowboys cows. I love you just like gays
Love six-packs, like Indiana Jones the whip,
Like rain loves England, kites the sky, and like
Some guys with really goofy taste love marmite.
I love you like mice love a (stable) ship,
I love you like a belt-end loves the other,
I love you like the seagull loves the sea,
Like planets love their stars, and like the bee
Its queen, and like a shadow loves another.
Like man, since very early, loves the sky,
I love you without even knowing why.

There is indeed much beauty and charm in its naivety. A refreshing Saturday morning read - with the sun, for once, shining:-)
