November 4th: Guy Fawkes - Poem competition - We will memorize the poem for homeroom points
This is the version that we use:
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 and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!

With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
