Narcissus, their son

Cephissus and Liriope

Were really hot for each other

Liriope had a thing for river gods

Cephissus had a thing for nymphs

They did it on the shore

Of still waters

Liriope was knocked up

And had a kid they named

Narcissus

His parents thought he looked

Too hot for his clothes

So he took them off

To go sit by the still waters

Looking at his reflection

Until a fish splashed his face

He got bored with that

Asking his parents for an iPhone

Nope no way

We don't have Zeus pockets kid

Narcissus went out and found

A sugar daddy who fondled him

Bought him an iPhone

Whereupon he's been standing

In front of a mirror applying make-up

For 3,984

Of the last 4,000 years

Looking at himself

Posting selfies

Covered in layers of Max Factor

He applies with a trowel

Hey kid, you look mah-vel-ous

You really do

(I don't have the heart to point out
His wrinkled canyons)
