Hippolytus

Fay's behind the barwhile Goody-two-shoes

is shooting pool --it didn't seem

farback when Hippolytus

was in school now he has grown up into a handsome hunk.

Aphrodite is singing a soul number,

while in the corner, Artemis a Country and Western

preacher, tells him to save his virginity for a rainy

day --and it is a matter

of course that the Goddess Aphrodite should lose her

temper, call it divine jealousy.

Fay's husband, Theseus, is rather too

conveniently away on business --so out of sight, out of mind, Fay's

got it bad, got it hot, she wants to go all the way and her confidante

an old barmaid says well what's wrong, it's not as if it is incest,

besides in the nineteen nineties, who cares? People wouldn't blink

an eyelid if you jumped your step-kid.

So, she argues in a drunken slur,why not tell him?

Fay might be all hot and bothered, but she has her pride

and her dignity it wouldn't do for the barmaid to spread it around that Fay

is after Hippolytus's virginity.

But she did, and from then on life was ablur.

Goody-two-shoes was astonished,

and was on the way to confron this step-mum

was it true that she wanted to f**k her handsome hunk of a son?

Before he

could get

there, she had hung herself from the pub's chandelier,

Theseus came back

just in

time to see her on the sofa, a note in the hand, an incriminating piece

of evidence, of course he wasn't to know that his son had promised not to

tell,

he cursed him, swore at him, kicked him to hell, and Goody-two-shoes

took off on his motor-bike but didn't get far because he was under the

influence of alcohol ,

Poseidon beer,

Theseus arrived in the nick of time

at the hospital

and found Artemis alongside his dying son

she told him that

there

had been no affair he had jumped to the wrong conclusion and Aphrodite had

known all along what had happened an allusion to the tragedy had been in her

song.
