The Pefectionist - Hlm
my friend is thorough
doing things he has his way…
praise is what he wants
He is a perfectionist, not a crack,
each night before starting to stride the track
he enters the washroom
to diligently groom,
returns to find his wife has hit the sack.
he has turned into narcissus, carrying his marriage on the rocks
