All English Men By God Are Straight and Right

We English men are disciplined from birth
Our poker face with upper lips are stiff
We need not hug nor kiss to know our worth
God save the queen will often give us lift

Curries with chips, that is our national dish
We don’t eat rice and but love our family nan
In Birmingham we made the Balti fish
Vindaloo and larger maketh this man

For their green fields the Welsh we did attack
The Irish Sea it also lent a hand
Hadrian helped us keep the Scottish back
A United Kingdom on face we stand

Though beer with football sometimes make us fight
All English men by God are straight and right

Very good and perceptive words ! But a true English man doesn't need to brag like this it's assumed so! Ha Ha Well done !
