I’m British and English
European too
Indian by heritage
And Muslim by view
I’m a northerner, a Yorkshire man 
If you narrow me down
I’ve always been a resident
In my home town
A native, a stranger 
By the sceptical eye 
A friendly local 
Who just passed you by
But really, in truth 
Though it drives some mad
I’m simply just 
A Batley Lad.
