Lots of fun. I agree with TSDG about the awkwardness of 'narcissist' and the mixed metaphor of 'on the block'. I also don't like the use of 'mug', which to me means only face (or coffee cup), and loses the great physicality of 'hide and hair'. However, I wouldn't change the digging to China, which is a common enough metaphor that I don't think people would get bogged down in its literal meaning. Good handling of rhyme and meter too.
