- Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
- The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
- I know of no reason
- Why the Gunpowder Treason
- Should ever be forgot.
The foiled plot is traditionally celebrated with bonfires and fireworks in the United Kingdom and some of their former colonies. The "holiday" found a new following in 2005 with the release of a film adaption of the graphic novel V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. The main character in the story follows in Guy Fawkes' footsteps, even wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, and attempts to blow up the Houses of Parliament. A wonderful movie for those who enjoy books like The Hunger Games and Winter's End. So enjoy the day!
