Lady Godiva
The portrait of Lady Godiva’s Ride
Inspires many a thought;
A woman filled with so much pride,
And against her husband, she fought;
Naked the Lady rode through town,
To protest her husband’s tax;
Coventry never was the same,
It stopped them in their tracks;
Lady Godiva never was tame,
But to me she is renowned!
The Lady was so daring and brave,
To face everyone in the nude;
History never reports women who behave,
But women like her they include;
Her brilliant ride on a stunning Gray,
Strutting her stuff through Coventry,
Her beauty remains unsurpassed;
The legend there for all to see,
Scarlet locks draped across her in a mass,
Such emotion this painting does portray!
