Pulling his pants out of there
and touching his face and hair
before every point
makes Nadal's behaviour fastidious.
But when a ball-boy
makes fun of his habit
of turning bottles
with labels to the front,
and he laughs
and says, 'the stupid things I do
to relieve the tension',
'fastidious' isn't enough;
'RAFASTIDIOUS' better defines
such singular behavioral stuff.
