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...
I can't wait. Nice photo, something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteHey Tony, it will be here before you know it! Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteIt fills me with joy to think of what is in store after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cheer.
Hey, DF! Just read your comment of 11/27 under my "Birthday Fairy" post. By the way, that was an actual birthday cake photo I got in an email. The post was to my sister-in-law who is upset with me and my "passive-aggressive" way of saying Happy B'day when she'll never read it, anyway. Dumb, eh? But it felt good to me! ;oD
ReplyDeleteAnd I love this photo you posted. You must've done it! Thursday night last we had big huge snowflakes dumping on us, but so far nothing is sticking (good!) I hope you get lots of those little white devils! ;oD

Hey Bowledover!
ReplyDeleteIf you can you should take yourself out for a trip to Stapleford Woods. There is so much colour about in the trees, expecially in woodland as they get the shelter, and it is very refreshing!
Hey Kyle! I started writing you this comment last night and my PC crashed. I eventually gave up but today it seems to feel better!
ReplyDeleteI understand about the cake post, it's not dumb at all bud.
I am glad you liked the picture, I took it while visiting my parents this year. They live in a beautiful area and the fields are so many colours although this crop is a favourite nationwide.
I am very envious of your snow! Have you had anymore? I know you don't want any so just tell it to behave and come here ok!
Bye for now bud, keep smiling! xx
