Remember, remember!



Here we are at another Guy Fawkes Day with the bonfires and fireworks to follow in the evening.

Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

I am a student of history, however I must admit that I never think about it. Thanks for reminding me.

That's why I am here.... to jog your memory from time to time.

I always wondered about the story behind Guy Fawkes. Thanks for elucidating. So, happy Guy Fawkes Day tomorrow.

I posted that last year..... It's very long and drawn out and was closer to a mini-novel as I recall.
