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...
Nice!!

ReplyDeleteHey Tom! I cannot believe how many people are taking part now! It must take you all weekend to visit them all....and possibly longer!
ReplyDeleteAnyway don't worry, you know it's always lovely to hear from you but you do not have to visit everytime. I hope you have had a great weekend.....actually I'll re-phrase that, are still having a good weekend. It's not over until the alarm goes off on Monday!
