Poem - Remember Remember the 5th November

Bonfire Night | Guy Fawkes Day

Guy Fawkes Exhibition at EB1, 2, 3 / JI Francisco Ornelas da Câmara

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, 'twas his intent

To blow up the King and 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, make the bells ring.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip hoorah!

The Story Of Guy Fawkes

In short: 

In 1605 (5th November) some conspirators,

 including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy

 the United Kingdom's Houses of Parliament

 in London and kill the King.

Today Bonfire Night is celebrated with bonfires

 and fireworks. Children make "Guys" out of old 

clothes to burn on the bonfire.

 A "Guy" is a model of Guy Fawkes.
