"Remember, remember,
The 5th of November:
Gunpowder, treason and plot."

Any non-Brit who can explain this is a real "guy". Sad)

I remember, but then I hope I am not a damp squib!!


Remember, remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

  Guy Fawkes, twas 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 catched
With a dark lantern and lighted match.
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the King.

I always wondered about "Dark Lanterns". Did they give out dark light?

Guy Fawkes Day?


You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

The king, by the way, was gay - King smith I of England and VI of Scotland.

Britain has had quite a few gay kings, hasn't it?
I have a list in a book, I can wip it out if anyone likes.
