Remember, remember,
The Fifth of November!
Gunpowder, treason and plot!
I see no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot!

Nowadays, of course, it is just a chance to shoot off fireworks. Rarely does one get to make an ironic political statement with fireworks, but Guy Fawkes' Day is an excellent chance. If we celebrated the defense of Fort McHenry, I suppose September 13th would be another one.
