ODE
TO LADY GODIVA
Wasn’t
she cute in her birthday suit
Riding
on that pony?
Dressed
like that, she needed a hat,
To
shade her abalone
Skin,
so fair, and that long blonde hair,
Glowing
in the sun.
Seated
so tall, so mythical,
Shook
the town’s equilibrium.
Ode
to Lady Godiva –
A
statement of long time ago –
That
people are free, to be a marquee,
Not
even be incognito.
Ode
to Lady Godiva.
Be
whatever you want to be,
But
do it for reason, and during the season,
Or
you’ll freeze your anatomy.
