OF THE DAY 30
“Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God’s providence he was catch’d,
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!”

Um, Queen. Mum!
You know, mum. It’s the word.
What’dya mean that’s not the right coin?
Keep your two cents. I’m none the richer.”
Eggy in a basket!*
We make ’em all the time! Yay!
Even before Shane and his rather large British family joined the scene.
Yes, we were wannabes way before. Ish. ISH!
*Redeeming the sorry state of British food everywhere. [wink n’ nod, nod n’ wink]
