1765: The Coventry Hangings (Free verse) by Caducus

Within three eyes were blossom and horsehair, 'Pippin' death knells reached a moaning cart where six damned eyes of Coventry blue, would weave themselves white. Through the thousand crowd a barotone nobleman, greeted them by name damned them by moniker, then lips and lifelines pressed before the glockenspiel ascent to death. Within three eyes were 'Baker', 'Drury' and 'Leslie'. A yarn of heads tried to pray God replied in Gibbet, and the slow motion ladder brought August to three buds of our 'Cofa' tree.

Pippin and cofa are indiginous trees of coventry 'cofa tree' was where coventry derived.

After these hangings they were treated to a coating of hot tar and left to rot for 35 years - Coventry justice has never been the same since lol.
