Remember Remember
November 5th, 2005
“Remember, remember the 5th of november.” Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot was on that day and well, I remember this saying from school. It came back to my mind when I saw today’s date. It’s today, the so called Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night.
“Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!Guy Fawkes, guy, t’was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England’s overthrow.By god’s mercy he was catch’d
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.And what shall we do with him?
Burn him! “
