Hephastus, so the story goes Once found himself a wry cuckhold And to avenge his wife's wild passion Tricked her love in a clever fashion. While he was tending the smithy fire, Mars was fanning his wife's desire. As they lay entwined on the smithy's bed They failed to see the net o'erhead. It was rigged to fall as the story goes when the flames of passion curled their toes!
Hephastus saved his reputation And, passion is indeed a conflagration!
