A conversation was over heardThe neighbors were being quite absurd
They said this guy didn't belong here
He really does act rather queer...
He's always thinking of other stuff
Like Vitamin C -it's really rough
To have a lively conversation
While he's six feet deep in cogitation

If he could he'd be experimenting
With chemistry and molecular biology
When all we want is a lively chat
While playing cards -just this and that.
We really are quite tired of Linus
His Nobel Peace Prize and his shyness

Seems a very modest gravestone for such a great man. Two Nobel prizes, no less!
