(A proofreader's note regarding “enumerable” and “innumerable.”)

“Enumerable” is to enumerate
As countable is to count;
But with the word “innumerable,”
Futility must abound.

It says “too many” in number to count,
While “numerous” says “many.”
Innumerable are the stars above,
More mighty in number than any.

By virtue of its very size
Or lack of finite bounds,
That number is non-countable,
Despite the awe it crowns.
