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...
Totally abstract.
ReplyDeleteThis looks a lot like the "floaters" in my vision when I look up at a blue sky!! For real, Budette!

Our state motto is: Winter Wonderland! Truly! It has to wear mittens all year long - tee hee!
If you had not said under ice I would have thought of the pups foot prints in snow.

Hey Babooshka, I liked it. Hope you are well, do you have snow?
ReplyDeleteHey Kyle. We used to get snow every year in the UK but not regularly for about 15-20 years now, dependent on whether you live in the north or the south. So any snow really messes things up and we are just not prepared.
Hey Bowledover, thankfully they have not decided to try to venture onto the ice yet. I don't fancy going in after them!!
