I merely tolerated his frail handshake dusty shoes dull tan slacks no belt wrinkled light blue button down shirt green armpit stains turkey neck pickled face white clown hair He removed his quaking hand only after declaring, "My name is Linus" And finally I was free to get away.

The comment (and other comments you've made in the past). You are generally thoughtful, humble, agreeable, etc.

You understood the poem, appreciated it and were thoughtful enough not to spoil it for others, these are good qualities.
(how often do you get compliments on poemranker, anyway?)
