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...
What a brilliant photograph!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's top isn't it! I would like to spend a night there.

ReplyDeleteI think this picture is great.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be there.
You do the driving, I will make the meal and we can chat until the wee hours what do you think?

ReplyDeleteHey Cloudbusting, or for me as I usually don't make it through the night without needing to get up and pee! Sorry, perhaps a little too much information there!! :0)
