Remember
Posted in Personal Stuff by John E. Pannell on November 5th, 2007 at 1:52 am Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot.
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
To any British friends that might be reading this blog, Happy Guy Fawkes Night!
