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

Elizabeth Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 11/5/2022 4:02:00 AM ‘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

Glad you enjoyed. Terry
