When Crouch scores

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 When Peter Crouch scores
the doors of the Anfield faithful
will open wide
to receive him
and take him into
their hearts.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 When Peter Crouch nets
all bets will be off
like the weight
on the shoulders
of the beanpole
target man.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 When Peter Crouch notches
no more botches
or near misses
no more catcalls
or derision
from opposition fans.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 When Peter Crouch breaks his duck
by luck or through skill
the curse will be lifted
and a smile grace the features
of that thin
haunted face.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 When Peter Crouch gets a goal
the Kop will swallow him whole
and take him into their midst
all the kids will
pat him on the
head.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 When Peter Crouch scores
all those bores who thought
he couldn’t do it
will be proved wrong.
Until then the jury
is well and truly out.

Notes

One day Peter Crouch will score a goal for Liverpool – one day?
