Remember, remember, the 7th of November
I believe the original poem about Guy Fawkes goes tomething like this:

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


Well, I'm in a happy, poetry writing mood today, so here's my version:

Remember, remember, the 7th of November
The day that justice was reached;
Now the Dems have the keys and I know of no reason
Why Dubya should not be impeached!!


Anyone else feeling a little poetic today??

1. I'm still too tired to write poetry - but I'm "reworking" GOP campaign signs
Will discuss more later.

2. ...
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot ;
I don't know 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!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,'
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.
