Guy Fawkes' day rhyming poem (*An original)

Buy the art, £10; https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=FJM38B6AR9Z8G&... A rhyming poem written about Guy Fawkes' day, 5th of November. Striving to capture some of the history as well as the atmosphere of the occasion.

Burn bonfires to forget not,
The treasonous gunpowder plot,
Praise be the scheme was to be thwart,
And those responsible soon caught,
The fires make the night sky glow,
Fireworks give a thrilling show,
While effigies that flames consume,
Get dressed in a Guy Fawkes costume.
Though the house of Lords escaped flames,
And cries sounded long live king James,
Have the fifth of November marked,
For what traitors tried to have sparked,
A few that were fearful of change,
Shamed by what they sought to arrange,
Their country they were to betray,
On what's now known as Guy Fawkes' day.

Kids hating this thinking Guy Fawkes was an Hero and not a religious extremist. This is good.
