Englishman in Disguise

Forgotten roots!

 

Englishman in Disguise

 

I wrote a poem about being 1/2 Scandinavian and 1/2 Irish

 

The English spirits of my long ago past are a little upset!

 

If you think Vikings and the Irish can get hacked,

 

well, they do, but the English only get mildly annoyed

 

A Viking will slash you with a broad sword,

 

an Irishman will smack you around until you squeal like a little girl,

 

unless you are a little girl, in which case,

 

he’ll just have to be satisfied with beer,

 

because he’d never hit a little girl

 

Apparently, there’s mostly little girls around,

 

because he drinks quite a bit of beer!

 

But an Englishman, he’ll go out of his way to

 

avoid a jolly row, eh?

 

So, better make me 1/3 Scandinavian, 1/3 Irish,

 

and 1/3 English

Three of a kind. Stereotypes exist for a reason :)

Yeah, stereotypes all!
