Okay just so everyone knows today is the 5th of November.
It is the day Guy Fawkes (above) in 1605 failed to blow up parliament .......where is he now when we need him.....
So its now called Bonfire Night and Saffy hates, she has to cross her paws for hours because she is too scared to go out to pee. Jo hates it, she has a perforated ear drum and the bangs hurt.
I guess I outgrew it when the kids did. We used to have the hot dogs, baked potatoes and maybe toffee apples, but everyone is too old now it seems.
It is always wet and horrible and now goes on for about 2 weeks because the shops sell fireworks to just anyone. Including the kids who just cant resist scaring the crap out of everyone.
Anyway this is the rhyme which doesn't scan too well, that we all used to say as kids.
for your delight and entertainment, especially those of you not from these shores.
But perhaps you have ancestors who would have chanted this little ditty.
"Remember Remember the fifth of November. Gunpowder Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason, should ever be forgot."
Not exactly good English is it, but that is it.
Now you can see why they hanged guy Fawkes, he was a lousy poet.
