Back in 1605, being Catholic in England was like being Muslim in the West today. I'm of Catholic stock myself, but the anglophile in me wants to send a shout out to all my English brothers and sisters across the pond
. It's all good: just another reason to blow up stuff!
-
- 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 King and Parli'ment.
- 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!
