Guy Fawkes Night

I nearly forgot. Fortunately, the poem implores one to remember.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reasonWhy the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent.
To blow up the 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.
Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him? Burn him!
