guy fawks day: a rememberance

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to 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!


What was I doing last year today? Sitting in a tutorial while fireworks went off consistently for more than an hour. Amanda made an effigy, we hung it on a tree, and burned Guy Fawks to the ground.
