Today is Guy Fawks night where they burn his Ephagy in a bonfire]

            The Fifth of November

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! 
A stick and a stake  
For King James's sake! 
If you won't give me one, 
I'll take two,
The better for me, 
And the worse for you. 
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope, 
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him, 
A pint of beer to wash it down, 
And a jolly good fire to burn him. 
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring! 
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King! 
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
Today is November 5th 2015, it's Guy Fawks day which is my favorite holiday :D
