    Default Dear Old Guy (CTG)



    Guy Fawkes by George Cruikshank (1792-1878)

    Dear Old Guy

    A bit of childhood fun,
    to dress up a dear old Guy
    and burn him on a bonfire
    amid bangers and skyrockets:

    a yearly whoop-up--whoopie!--
    born of religious intolerance,
    innocuous really, whether today
    with trilby or a mock mitre



    though with a barbwire kiss
    thugs might drag a Guy
    from his doorway swill
    and set him alight. Poor Guy.

    Christopher T. George
