Poem Response

As of about 11:20 am I am still unable to get my microphone from my headset to work. I think it may be broken. Hopefully I can get this working by later today so I can post something.

Edit: Hopefully this works.

The poem I chose to record was the first two stanzas of the poem describing the condemnation of Guy Fawkes. The first stanza became very well known with the release of V for Vendetta.

The entire poem is as follows:

Remember, remember the Fifth of November
The 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 catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holler boys, holler boys, ring bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys, God Save the King!

A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o'cheese to choke him
A pint of beer to rinse it down
A faggot of sticks to burn him

Burn him in a tub of tar
Burn him like a blazing star
Burn his body from his head
Then we'll say old Pope is dead

Hip Hip Hoorah!
Hip Hip Hoorah!
Hip Hip Hoorah!

I don't know why I really chose this poem, other than it's always seemed interesting to me since the first time I heard the first stanza in V for Vendetta. My recording sounds alright to me, but who am I to judge. I haven't yet played around with it using audacity, but perhaps I will have a go at that later on.
