Badges of Distinction

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Five star combinations
Variations on a theme
A tribute that is skin deep
In praise of a club supreme

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 On both sides of The Mersey
All tattoo parlours full
Reminders of each victory
Or that night in Istanbul

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The trophy from every angle
Cleverly shaded monochrome
Dates and famous cities
London, Paris and Rome

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Artists with their needles draw
Proud birds of every size
Painful and permanent reminders
Of football’s greatest prize
