Pauling in Disguise (Ignorance and Arrogance) (Free verse) by Geschäftsreise
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.

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?)
