Title: It shines when perfect
Post by Kitty on Nov 23rd, 2003, 9:40am
It is quite fine,
It can help count back time,
It shines when perfect,
It's really quite worth it,
This thing found a mine.

I agree with Packo. But, I couldn't figure out the time part, until I peeked at your answer. But, because of the "when perfect" like I think the answer must be [hide]carbon[/hide].

actually my first answer beats em all

::[hide]Nothing shines better than beautiful eyes of a woman

It is quite fine.
When you see it deeply, it can take you back in time.
it shines when its perfect.
the eyes are worth everything in this world.
this thing found a mine of happiness for me.
