Lady Godiva was married to one Leofric,
A Mercian Earl, who challenged his chick,
To ride naked through Coventry town,
And then he’d consider bringing the taxes down.
Legend will tell us that that’s what she did,
So the people all loved her ’cause she saved them a few quid!
What isn’t so well known is she told them all to stay home,
So ostensibly rode through those streets alone,
Except for one man called Tom who watched as she came,
And that’s where “a peeping Tom” gets his name!
