Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
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!

Regards

John

My dad reminded me of this tradition today.

I don't know what the significance of November 5 in your neck of the woods. Any reason is a good reason to have a bonfire though.

to blow up the Houses of Parliament on 5 November 1605.

He looks a bit concerned, doesn't he?
