So Cometh November

So cometh November, when bonfires burn

And fireworks streak through the sky,

To remember a gang, with a murderous plan

In which a king and his government die.

So we stand round a fire, and gleefully admire

As we burn a Guy Fawkes effigy,

If it had worked, If the gunpowder blew, 

What then, would say history.
