It's just a warm-up for Nov 5 (Guy Fawkes' Day) --- 'The only man to enter Parliament with honest intent'...

Cheers - Sam in NZ - where we never celebrated 'All Hallow (Saints) Day' when I was a kid. We trucked round town with our "Cuy"...

cy Fawkes, Guy...
Sit him up on high...
Put him on the bonfire..
There let him die.


Mumble... mumble... forgot the rest, but there was a TERRIBLE THREAT when at the end, when we were extorting money for our fireworks from the terrified citizens...

... If you haven't got a penny?
A ha'penny will do...
If you hvaen't got a ha'penny?
Well, God Bless You


Bit off-topic, but...
