I was given this picture by my parents from their newspaper. Obviously I would love to say I took it myself! Anyway, I felt it was an image that deserved to be shared. (Image Credit The Daily Telegraph.)
English Folk Verse (c.1870) - The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! That's the only portion of this poem I have known up until now, however this year I came across the rest which I have to say I am not in complete agreeance with. 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...
It is impossible to see this picture and not laugh.
ReplyDeleteEvery thing about it is cool.
Glad that you enjoyed it.
Dear Bowledover, I am going to frame the original and put it up but I thought I should share it first. xx
