Government records disclosed after a four hundred year embargo prove that Fawkes was innocent of any wrongdoing. He was in the cellars conducting an audit of tally sticks which showed that members of parliament had been abusing their prerequisites.
Now I have your attention I would just like to remind you of the imminent closing of the latest Poetry competition, should you wish to join the adventurous souls who have so far submitted their entries you may make your contribution here.
A little known fact you may wish to incorporate into your pome, Fawkes leaped headlong from the scaffold, breaking his neck and dying, his body was recovered and hanged (justice must be served).
As today’s lone commentator I feel obliged to say: roger and out! 🙂
It is a great shame he never succeeded and set a precedent that we could have followed!
Love the tally sticks concoction, probably nearer to the truth than you know!
I put together the words “Guy Fawkes Innocent -New Evidence” about five hours ago. Just Googled them and I am number one on the list. Almost a Googlewhack.
LW evidently we two have insufficient to keep us occupied and out of mischief at the moment! Just taking a break house cleaning as we have a showing tomorrow. What are you not doing?
Morning Mrs. O. Most of the day yesterday I was NOT continuing to cover the boat, I got the frame on earlier this week but it was covered in a rime of ice yesterday morning and together with a brisk Northerly wind was not the day to be unfolding twenty feet square tarps on the dock, I stoked the stove and read a book.
Picture is today, wind has dropped, sun is out and I will wrestle the tarps later.
