I am a British mongrel
Scotland vs. England made into man
A battle ground lies within me
Where passion for a land
Fights with love of security
Those Highlands light a fire in my blood
A longing to touch the cold earth
And have its cool waters douse the flame
But my accent always betrays me
I hear English reserve pour forth from my mouth
Like a verbal bowler hat
My two sides continue to fight
A centuries old war for this land of legends
And everything seems all right
Until the Jew in me joins in.
Another very old poem that was floating around online.

This is a good concept, and has some beautiful lines, but methinks it could use some revision, Hollywoodized Braveheart-style.
