Remember Remember the Fifth of November

The nation faced such doom and gloom Men gathered in a basement room The gunpowder plot Was brilliant- NOT And parliament never went boom

‘Remember, remember the fifth of November’ was always the slogan that was used in the UK to advertise fireworks. I love fireworks but it still seems odd that we can walk into a shop and buy explosives. Thanks, Elizabeth. Terry

Nobody would be remotely surprised if it were current, Kim. Funny how the history we grow up with, we presume the world knows about too. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

He did get astoundingly close, though, Eve. In reality I doubt it would have changed much. Thanks for your visit. Terry
