Jason and the Argonauts
succumbed to darker thoughts
Theseus found the Minotaur
but also a minor flaw
despite all the selfies & martial displays
he actually preferred getting lost in the maze
Prometheus
was queasiest
thought life with a liver-ripping eagle was easiest
Persephone
helplessly
dodging her dodgy family endlessly
picked at her food, flip flopped restlessly
six months Hades, six months Thessaly
King Midas
wise ass
everyone giving his high fives a hard pass
easy touch, gastric band
swapped his friends for krugerrands
and Icarus?
bored, basically sick of us
his dad plain mad, the rest ridiculous
full of wax and feathery spunk
spread his wings, aired his junk
but it didn’t work out and his dream got sunk
