Gallant rebel with a cause, Unwavering in his belief, Yearning for a revolution, Forever etched in history's weave, Kudos to Guy Fawkes, a figure of intrigue and valor.
Its called 'Guy Fawkes & the Gunpowder Plot'.
Also known as 'Remember Remember' Poem.
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
Guy Fawkes hid in the cellar for around 36 hours. He was discovered on the evening of November 4, 1605, just hours before the planned explosion of the Gunpowder Plot.
Guy Fawkes was born and educated in York, which would make him English.
Not at all, it is very unlikely that will happen, and the world will not end in 2012, dont worry, it will take a long time until the world will end and scientists have found the sun will collide with the earth and burn it in billions of years!

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.
The Guy Fawkes mask represents rebellion against a government. The reason for this is because Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Parliament building on November 5, 1605.
King James I, and the members of the Houses of Commons and Lords.
I believe that Guy Fawkes was innocent as King James had a secretary(Robert Cecil)
and sometimes he would lend him the key to the tower where all the gun powder was stored. It was locked all the time, so Guy Fawkes couldn't have got in because he was catholic and at this point Catholics were disliked because the king was protestant, also Cecil hated catholics very much and wanted to get rid of them so this would be the perfect plan. As well people would notice if there were 36 massive barrels went missing.
Cecil also wanted to warn catholics by this execution of Guy Fawkes so that they would not mess with him or anyone else in England because he literally detested Catholics.
guy Fawkes was in the celler but as time has gone by it has been proved that the celler was really an underground passage to a busy garden and that guy Fawkes wasnt actually arrested in the celler he was arrested outside it. also there was never an underground tunnel that linked to the house of Parliament because if there was how come it was never found and if cecil did show them the "tunnel" he would of loooked bad because he would of been the only person to know. plus the plotters would never dream of sending a letter because that linked to evidance really as the experts on writing has looked it shows cecil forged his writing so it didnt look like his because if the plotters was that worried about lord monteagle surley they would of went to him so that her didnt have evidence and the plottors wouldn't have been found so whilest we have been saying cecil is the savour really he could have been the plottor to make catholics look bad.
He was Hung, Drawn and Quartered.
There may be other events that happened in between but that was the end result.
To kill King James, in order to prevent the publishing of the 1611 King James bible.
