"Butch Gardens, Episode 11" by Mocha Tchokha Rose

            (COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE, with her womanservant FOOFEE and the two
            old ladies, GEORGETTE and GRACE, arrive at the peeling sign where the
            fearsome ELINOR RADLEY and her PANTHER LADY await.  LONNIE and
            ANNIE are also there.)
 
GRACE
Would you look at this?  A convocation of lesbians.

ANNIE
It’s Butch Gardens, an abandoned amusement park.

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
I’m Countess Van Der Cave.

ANNIE
            (Referring to ELINOR RADLEY)
This attractive woman was about to tell the origins of the place.

GRACE
What’s that hot number going to tell us---?

GEORGETTE
            (Giggling)
Grace, you’re forward---

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
            (To the PANTHER LADY)
I see that you are part panther.

ELINOR RADLEY
Do I have your attention?

COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE
I said, I see that you are part panther---

ELINOR RADLEY
            (Louder)
Your attention!

COUTNESS VAN DER CAVE
            (Still to the PANTHER LADY)
Are you litter-trained?

            (The PANTHER LADY snarls.)

FOOFEE
Countess!

ELINOR RADLEY
Ahem!

GRACE
            (To the COUNTESS)
That hot number’s speaking---

LONNIE
Well, I can’t wait around---

ELINOR RADLEY
Too many women!  Too much noise!
