Don't try to simulate cumulus clouds at all. A few fluffy high altitude 
cirrus clouds can be simulated with just a plane quite well and would 
fit to the overall style of the image.
Didn't Zeger post some 'fastcloud' macros recently? Never used it myself 
but might be of use here.

Ah, thank you for the explanation, this makes it clear.

As with most traditional songs there are many different versions but my 
favorite is about two corbies (maybe a couple) discussing the advantage 
they have to make it through the coming winter because a knight lies 
slain below their tree. E.g. using his long blond hair for nest building 
or how delicious his eyeballs might taste.
