Rehashing History: Some Bare Facts About Lady Godiva

Lady Godiva wasn't trying to be cute
When she went for that ride in her birthday suit.
It was her husband's taxes she protested,
All butt naked and bare-breasted,
She only did as he'd suggested, so any argument was moot.

The townsfolk of Coventry were warned not to peek,
And no lecherous looks at the lady to seek.
But one sneak did

Lady Godiva

Woman of rationality
not known to all men.
Countess of Mercia,
scent of a woman.
Lover of masses,
dream of sashes.
In anticipation
no other man tried,
Wooing the coveted one
fear of life taunts
nobody ever haunts.
A modest woman she was,
a clean woman that was.
Up in the hills
travels without fear,
down the hills she fills
with her voice people hear.
In many trails
she hops and drills.
In open

Lady Godiva

Lady Godiva 
If you believe in your quest 
How far can you go 

Could you be able to degrade
Your pride 
Just to get your request

How far can you go 
To get that you really 
Stand for 

Can you ride on the horse 
Naked 
Showing  up all you are 
Showing up your body naked
Just to

Barbie As Lady Godiva

Ken sits and stares from his pink cadillac.

Birthday suit stretched on tight over nude slacks.

Ken thinks his Godiva’s lost her mind.
Nevertheless he buys her a pony
to ride and a very long wig that blinds.
Barbie giddyaps — she’s fancy-free.

It is as simple as that, she’s cut out

Let's Go As Lady Godiva

Which costume will she wear tonight?
She reaches for her red elongated plastic clown shoes.
The left one is missing.  Did she loan it out?

Maybe she should squeeze into her pink tutu?
The one with the rhinestones in rainbow colors?
She can barely squash her rear and her tummy in
But she finally manages it. When she zips the

King David and the Lady Godiva

Inspired from the first chapter of the prophet Esaias....


Among the Living and among the remnant you are...

No , the people don't need other heroes.....
The fury road has led to this moment
Where the Giant of Gath....GOG himself
And MAGOG ....the Norman's of France stand to assert.
Stand to assail....ride as triumphant and humble...
Seize the moment, the moment is

Lady Godiva

Coventry's Lady Godiva goes 
side saddle, naked from head to toes; 
her blonde hair down to there, 
and her bottom all bare, 
'cause farmers pay taxes through the nose.

Godiva Chocolates tempt
Dieters beware
Melt-in-your-mouth milky charm
Evokes a craving
My control lapses
I give in
Feast!

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

Lady Godiva

there once was a Lady from France
who never would put on any pants

she would ride all around
the square of the town

and watch all the stupid men dance !!!
