“Never mind the” haiku:

Guy Fawkes, April 13, 1570 — Jan. 31, 1606
John Lydon, Jan. 31, 1956

Catholic monarchy
“Anarchy in the U.K.”
Dynamite notions

Revolution rocks
When freedom’s fire lights the fuse
But punks fizzle out

So Guy Fawkes’ plot failed
Johnny Rotten in vain wailed
And God saved the Queen
