Well we were there,
Orchi and I,
Under the Houses of Parliament,
Robert Catesby had invited us.
We were in the pub,
Me drinking my scotch
WITHOUT WATER!
Orchi was drinking his sherry,
And stroking his dog
When Robert came in.
“Do you want to join me,
Join me for a lark?”
Before I could answer
Orchi’s dog went “woof,woof”,
So I knew something rude
Was going to be said.
Orchi butted in
And said “Of course we will,
As long as it doesn’t make me swoon”.
So off we went,
We crept beneath parliament,
And there sitting on a pile,
A pile of gunpowder,
Was Orchi’s old mate Guy,
Guy Fawkes.
“HELLO GUY!!” Orchi shouted,
And that was it.
Orchi shouting so loud
That his dog started barking,
The guards woke up and came to us.
Being a shadow I hid,
Orchi climbed on the back of his dog
And they ran away,
With Robert holding on to the dogs tail.
So Guy was caught and blamed and died.
But I blame Orchi
As we still have the parliament,
The building is fine
But the people in it aren’t.
“How do you know when a politician is lying?”
“Their lips move!”

Great funloads - trust Orchi and the great Les Dawson to top it off - was he there as well?
He was playing for Orchi's so called singing!
I hope Les's exquisite piano playing didn't upstage poor Orchi.
Doh! lol. I knew I mucked it up somehow, but I had forgotten how. You and I (and others) have been at so many events, since 1066 at least.
This should be a Monty Python movie.........I see Orchi hanging on to that dog for all he's worth. If they hadn't made this a fun holiday with bonfires and fireworks, wouldn't it just have been another plot gone wrong in the annals of English history?
It would work well as a Monty Python movie. Thanks for the thought Lorna.
Very fun write! Cute!!
Thank you Christina. I have never been described as cute before, and I would think Orchi has either.
HA ha I was talking about the poem!
