Remember, Remember
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...

ReplyDeleteHey Lone Chatelaine! I am glad you like them. They are very delicate. I have this thing to ask you. You know when you start to get to know someone there is sometimes an urge to abbreviate their name? I am having that with you. I think I have referred to you once as L.C. but after thought you might not like it.
Some people don't like having their names abbreviated.....me for one (my given name that is)so I thought I would ask. Any suggestions or just stick to the full name?
Hope you are very well bud.
Thank you!!
