Who wrote the guy Fawkes poem?

Answer 1

The whole poem goes:

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!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A f****t 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.

But most people just stick with the first verse.

Answer 2

There is no one particular author of the Guy Fawkes poems. As there are several different ones. Often they can trace their roots back to the sermons that began in 1606 asking everyone to remember the events of the previous year (in which Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up parliament). Different regions in the UK have their own versions of the poem.
