Peter the Rock

Peter the Rock
 afraid of cock
 hailed from fishermen
 appointed to catch men
 called to be apostle
 wrote two epistles
  given the keys of hell
  proclaimed JESUS well
  introduced by Andrew to Christ
  prompted to withdraw fish net
  accepted Jesus at Bethany
  declined at Gethsemane
  shattered by the threat
  restored by His gracious look
  gave up timidity showed boldness
  turn out the world with word
   martyred for Christ upside down
