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 succumb,
Later called "Peeping Tom",
And was struck blind and dumb 'cause his morals were weak.
When Lady G. returned home, she re-braided her tresses,
Re-robed and prepared for her hubby's redresses.
But he didn't rebuke her for going out starkers
Or for publicly displaying bush, bum, and knockers,
And, though truly chagrined, he rescinded his taxation excesses.

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 seas
she crave for krills.
Strong woman thinks all,
grown woman walks tall.
In each flight she makes
no man's plight is at stake.
Never wondered how hard life is
In an instant, life heals.
For the strong woman without fierce
no hurting arrows can pierce.
Savagery is not bravery
for any lass of Coventry.
Thinking of good deeds that last
no heroism will rust.
Aigrettes pose as nobility,
not for lass of simplicity.
Half of Leofric,
Piece of heroic.
Levy for serfs,
burden of turfs.
Then one day casted
a lean woman's body...
body of beauty,
honor of beauty.
How the heroine perished
nobody cherished.
A living legend she was,
a myth that never was!

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 fullfil the desire
Of your husband
Just to get your request done
How far can you go
For what you believe in
I heard of a lioness
A brave lady
A strong woman is far better
Than a weak man
Same just like
Lady Godiva

Ken sits and stares from his pink cadillac.
She’s unlike the pretty girl he dated.
Birthday suit stretched on tight over nude slacks.
She’s definitely not overstated.
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
her fashion wardrobe, wears no pantyhose.
She was a lifetime working girl, devout.
Tired of modeling, Barbie wears no clothes.

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 zipper splits though.
Why not go as a villain? Her internal sneering voice asks her
She hates it when that voice appears; it is always unkind.
She would rather go naked now that as Elvira.
She would rather die than go as a villain.
Great idea! Another voice goads her.
Let’s go as Lady Godiva; where is your long blonde wig?
Maybe I will go as myself, she tells them both.
Grabbing her purse and stalking off.
Unwittingly doing exactly what her guides wanted her to do.

Lady Godiva- rode naked on her horse;
That’s OK… her steed was naked too, of course!

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 here and God Christ
Who you have trusted as Master has placed the moment before you.
In His Eternal Name March forward to the victors crown
Yea, the fury road goes on for thee, for thou art amongst the remnant.
Yet Christ be the Master and Leader...victory THROUGH HIM
is thine, o servant remnamt

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!

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!

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 !!!
