It is a cold harsh place,
this Warwickshire town,
not one for me,
placed there
undeservedly,
once, cycling there for work
and feeling the chill, placed there
again and the frosty atmosphere
afforded this poor son
of Birmingham;
I don’t know how Lady Godiva
kept her private life
warm.

The Midlands city of Coventry isn’t really remembered for many things outside of its Cathedral, the legendary Lady Godiva the fantastic groups The Specials and The Selecter, being the home town of the poet Philip Larkin, the utter devastation it suffered in the Blitz and one brief shining moment for its football club in 1987 where the team did the unexpected and pulled off one of the most famous victories in F.A. Cup Final history.
