Miffed Mythos

Romulus' eyelashes cut his city's timber
The green knight didn't learn to see
Frankenstein had lively eyes
Bezukhov listened when his image 
Could have taken on wings

Zarathustra sucked his thumb
As he burned none and saw all
Spiderman's waking nightmare
Was a stream of bed bugs
Gretel was an only child

Beowulf's grip was visible
Through his sinuous lids
Circe never ate pork
Every Fool kept a photograph
Of the way things could have been
