Bill Shankly

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Jimmy Cagney in baggy shorts
Packed a tackle
Harder than a “piece”
Kitbag not violin case
Deadlier than a smoking gun
And the philosopher’s soul
Forged its future history
Whilst honing skills carved
On ice and mud and the legs
Of fearful hearts that would
Hesitate just long enough…
