The Lover's Lament
AT THE LOSS OF THE Old Steam Trams, Electrocuted Dec. 31st. 1906.
But the lights were low, and the pace was slow, And the corner seats were cosy, And many a Miss has received a kiss On the top of the Car From Perry Barr Or the Tram that came from Moseley! Yes, the Electric Car, can go very far, In a very short space of time But that dazzling light, is FAR-too bright So each loving pair, have a stony air Of not being aware, that each other is there And gone are their joys sublime! No, the fact that these Cars are painted blue And are awfully, terribly, painfully new, And the fact there is plenty of elbow room, Will never make up for that friendly gloom And the joys so sweet, Of the corner seat ON THE OF THE OLD STEAM CAR. F.S. R SCOTT RUSSELL & Co., B'HAM. SCOTT SERIES |
