Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Penny For the Guy

Catherine wheels and sparklers
 lighting up the night
 Hot chestnuts on the fire
 As bonfires burn bright
 
 A penny for the guy
 who tried to kill the king
 and blow the House of Lords sky high
 like a rocket in the wind

 Cracker jacks exploding
 as they celebrate this bloke
 whose effigy is burning
 Going up in smoke

Andrea Dietrich November 27, 2016 at 11:37 AM Joseph, are cracker jacks just fire crackers then? I came back here to see how someone used that word because in the USA cracker jacks are a popcorn snack in a box!!
