With An Infectious Likability Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If an intelligence was based upon,
The reflection of one's competence...
There would be few elected to leadership positions.
Since the requirements would ensure...
A proving of a thought process.
Instead of how one impresses,
With an infectious likability.
And how one stylishly is dressed.
To later prove no mental depth,
That benefits an waiting to satisfy expectations.

'The look and dress certainly impresses.
But the incompetence shown...
Embarrasses those who can not hide their distress.'
