Sky drama

Seeing this sunlight tree in its autumn finery this afternoon reminded me of the shape of fireworks we‘re likely to be seeing in the sky tonight.

“Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see 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 catched
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa boys, holloa boys
God save the King!
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!”

(Traditional English Rhyme - 17th Century)
