1:22 for the full poem:

"Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
the Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent to blow up King and Parliament.

Three score barrels were laid below to prove old England's overthrow;
By God's mercy he was catch'd with a dark lantern and lighted match.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip hoorah!

A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.

A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A [bundle] of sticks to burn him.

Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.

Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.

Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah hoorah!"

If you are a V For Vendetta fan like I am, you will know that this poem is used in the movie. I thought that it would appropriate for my video to be about it on this 5th of November! :D

Seen the movie? Read the graphic novel? Are you a V For Vendetta fan? Is so, why?...and if not, why not? :D

  • censoring the poem is anti-what the poem is about

  • @sexdrugsRnR true, but that's not going to make me say it :)

  • were did you get V's mask i really would like if you could tell me or you can send me on.plz

    

  • @kamilkacoocoo Halloween store

  • It's a perfectly good word Dear. It is slang for a cigarette. It is also used in my families home town in PA to refer to a type of sausage patty. It may have a different meaning *now* but that doesn't make it a 'bad' word.

    Yes, I am a fan of the film & comic.

  • @tetsubo57 It pains me to say the word (as I annotated in the vid)

  • umm, actually it was 1605 not 1608 =)

  • @kamilkacoocoo I got mine from anime north!

  • You are awesome

  • @sexdrugsRnR I agree. I think putting in the disclaimer in the beginning allows people to understand the meaning of the word. And also Faggot also has other meaning in the UK.

  • I like the poem as it originally is.

  • I love V for Vendetta

  • @katinatreesee the medium has destroyed the message
