BONFIRE NIGHT SPECTACLUAR!!!
Yeah, that'll work.
Da rhyme in Shakesphere style, so no, I haven't spelt anything wrong.
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.
By God's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.
And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!
Another rhyme... That isn't so well known.
Guy Fawkes, Guy
Stick him up on high,
Hang him on a lamp post
And there let him die.
Guy,Guy,Guy,
Poke Him in the eye,
Put him on the fire
And there let him die
Burn his body from his head
Then you'll say
Guy Fawkes is dead
Hip, Hip, Hooray!
Love tis poem.
Now for da story (To give you an idea of what happened that night in 1606 and why we celebrate it today).
When Queen Elizabeth ruled the land, she hated Catholics, and they ended up being banned from going to church and weren't allowed to own land. When she died, the King O' Scotland, also known as James I, was made the king of England too. He was half Catholic and hald Prodistant. All the Catholic people thought that things would be changed... Sadly, they weren't and after a couple of years, they went from disappointed to angry. 13 men (including Guy Fawkes.) agreed to something about it. Together they bought a house right next to the House Of Parliment, naming it the Secret House. Reguarly they had secret meetings, carefully planning out what was to be done. One of the plotters were related to Lord Monteagle, one of the top men who were going to the same meeting as James I in the House Of Parliment. And so they sent a letter to the Lord. They had 36 barrels of gunpowder down in the celler of the House Of Parliment. There are many theorys about how they got those barrels down there. My theory is at midnight they would carry them down through a secret passageway. Anyways... the plotter closed it with a seal, not his own or it would give it away. Then sent it to the Lord a week before they planned to blow the House Of Parliment up. The Lords servent ran into the room with the letter in her hand, and instead of giving it to him. She read it too him infront of about 30-40 people. The letter read:
Dear Lord Morteagle,
On the 5th of November, there will be an explosion. You will not know who did it and how they did it. We are doing this it get our rights.
~Annoymous.
So the Lord informed the King about the mysterious letter.And of the night of the plot, the King and some of his men went down to the cellar to find 13 men about to blow the Parliement up with 36 barrels of gunpowder. And on the 12th of January Guy Fawkes and the rest were executed.
We celebrate with fireworks as a remembrace of the explosion that failed.
And that finishes this post. Oh wait no. I have two more things.
