"Remember, remember,

the fifth of November,

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

We see no reason whyGunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot!"

Rhyme about Guy Fawkes

In November 1605, the infamous Gunpowder Plot took place in which some Catholics plotted to blow up the English Parliament and King James l, on the day set for the king to open Parliament. The men were angry because the king had treated them badly and they didn't like it.
The story is remembered each 5th November when 'Guys' are burned in a celebration known as "Bonfire Night".

Bonfire Night is celebrated all over the UK, every year on 5th November, the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, Guy Fawkes is remembered.
Throughout England, towns and villages...

light huge bonfires,
let off magnificent fireworks,
burn an effigy (a homemade model of a man, like a scarecrow) and
celebrate the fact the Parliament and James I were not blown sky high by Guy Fawkes.

HALLOWEEN POEM

2009-10-29T09:21:00.000-07:00

Halloween
Witches flying past on broomsticks,
Black cats leaping here and there,
White-robed spooks on every corner,
Mournful moaning in the air,

Goblins peering out of windows,
Spirit-things that rap and run-
But don't be scared-it's just October,
Having one last hour of fun!
