I wanted to be the first to recommend Alan Moore's "V
for Vendetta" and, just in case, like me, you have a
bad memory for rhymes, I dug up the standard Guy
Fawlke's day reminder:

Remember, remember*
the Fifth of November
is gunpowder treason and plot. 

I see no reason
why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot. 

*I've also seen it as "Please to Remember the 5th of
November."

And, of course, the first Prime Minister of Pakistan
was assassinated in 1951, too. (That was in October,
tho', I think.)
