A day with orphans!

‘Who’ll hear the orphan’s cry?
‘They’re full of fear and dread’
We took our team on the road
To play football with them instead

Haji Eusuf orphanage, Chattak
We met 53 orphans that day
Zoinul and Moshahid had it all lined up
Rounding off with some sunset play

We took pictures and shared gifts
The orphans smiles put us to shame
We were itching to get on that pitch
To play the beautiful game

So gaffers Shaheed and Mehdi
List two orphan teams on a pad
Favourites Abdal, Waj, Abu, Yarimi
Bench stars Saif, Diya, Emdad

But we didn’t care for big names
The orphans were fighting fit
They ran and ran like Olympians
With us adding our little bit

I had to pull a trick for a goal
But then Yarimi beat the keeper
My shot came off the post
Diya pounced for the winner

With plenty game time left
It was time for a dirty prank
Poor Abdal smashed into the hoardings
Only way to stop that tank

With Abu pulling the strings
Saif was our brick wall
Ref Jay whistled to give us the win
Our orphans stood proud and tall

‘I’ve never seen them so happy,
‘I pray you’re all blessed from above’
A local expressed her feelings
On football spreading the love

At the Human Relief Foundation
Raisah’s match summary
Gobindogonj has played host to
The ‘best game in HRF history’

‘Who’ll hear the orphan’s cry?
‘They’re full of fear and dread’
We took our team on the road
To play football with them instead

This is Klopp’s Liverpool

Mohamed Salah’s hair
Bobby & Mane so uber cool
Of all the teams out there
Why do fans choose Liverpool?

There’s tales of King Kenny
Bill Shankly OBE
Boot room & Bob Paisley
Smokin Joe & Rafa’s legacy

Mohamed Salah’s hair
Bobby & Mane so uber cool
Of all the teams out there
Why do fans choose Liverpool?

Derby Day Reds V Blue
I witnessed Gerrard score three
Sang heartily with the Kop crew
In a thunderous Mersey derby

A fabled terrace from the Boer War
Songs, chants and the Kops roar
Be there nowt on the score
Or an Anfield blitz of four

Mohamed Salah’s hair
Bobby & Mane so uber cool
Of all the teams out there
Why do fans choose Liverpool?

And then came Sky Blue City
Seeking a place in the semi
Blitzed at Anfield by three
Three cheers on the Mersey

With five European big ears
Eastlands hosts the Red cyclone
Klopp’s men have no fears
They seldom walk alone

Mohamed Salah’s hair
Bobby & Mane so uber cool
Of all the teams out there
Why do fans choose Liverpool?
