Black cats deflated – Liverpool 3-0 Sunderland

Beach boys came to fortress Anfield
Shades, candy, sticks of rock on show
Mesmeric strike with three on the clock
Fernando Torres quid pro quo

Glenda’s deflection off Turner
Stevie G choreographed the flair
Johnson to Torres to deftly pierce
The wind from Brucie’s bag of hot air

Reds breached visitor walls at will
Though guilty of a lacking killer touch
Oozing class, poise and assurance
When the Red Army sets free the clutch

Marauding Gerrard the red hot fulcrum
But almost a late Cats consolation
An old Red returning home
Welcome back Boudewijn Zenden
