    106 Beats That

    If you had a room, he'd paint it white,
    survives the day, prefers the night,
    build sight.
    Got a head for figures,
    no time for bickers,
    (or so he says,)
    prefers the company of a woman.
    Finds it more physical,
    (that's an important word,)
    always seen first then heard,
    such a rare bird.
    With praise he glows,
    with change he grows,
    finds that important,
    hates waiting, it's not stimulating,
    likes celebrating,
    I can't understand why that is so funny,
