Remember, remember The fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot; I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. A stick and a stake For George's sake So please remember the bonfire. Fifty barrels lay below To blow old England's overthrow. With a dark lantern and a lighted match That's the way old Guy was catch. Holler, boys, holler; make the bells ring! Holler, boys, holler; God save the King! A rope! a rope! to hang the Pope, A slice of cheese to choke him, A gallon of beer to drink his health And a jolly good bonfire to roast him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BURNING DAWN by HAYDEN CARRUTH MOUNTAIN FARM by MALCOLM COWLEY TO RIDGELY TORRENCE - PLAYWRIGHT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
