gunpowder treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
A rhyme we learned at school years ago.
November 5th was my dads birthday he really enjoyed that all
England celebrated it. He would have loved how they celebrate now,
I don't think!
Money going up in smoke, he was a typical Yorkshireman money was
not for burning.
The skies above Rawmarsh erupt, starting about 6pm until turned 12.
At first it's all oooohs and aaaaahs. 
Then it's, does anyone want a cup of tea?
Then it become a noise you try to drown out with the TV.
This goes on for two nights, the 5th Nov and the following Saturday.Guy Fawkes would be proud.
For his part in the plot, he was hung drawn and quarted, just like Mel
Gibson but for real.
