Sentence A Day - Sentence 6

Cutting For Stone:
Like a birder, I listed the ones I sought: pulsus paradoxus, pulsus alternans, pulsus bisferiens...and simple drawings of what they might look like.

Me:
Like a begger, I repeatedly murmured the usual cliche plees: food for the Vietnam Vet, help a man out, don't let them keep me down...and the other useless rabble that accompanies them.

The author begins with a simile and uses a colon to list a few examples of what he sought to create imagery.
