Remember Remember


Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd (or by God's mercy*)
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring. (Holla*)
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him? Burn him!



V for Vendetta is a perfect movie to watch on this day as I have done each year since its release. V's final 'dance of death' is to epic too miss.

Is this something we say "Happy" to? Like... "Happy Guy Fawkes' Day?"

Cause if so, then consider it said.

If not, then just ignore me.
