IT was World Poetry Day on Sunday and it’s a year since lockdown this week so there’s only really one thing for it ...
It was around this time last year
That we started slowing down
The foot came off the pedal
As we went in to lockdown
READ MORE: Glasgow Taxis Cup just won't bet the same this year... but good luck to all
It was tough for every one of us
As it all came with a cost
But the ones who felt it most of all
Were those who loved ones lost
Now one year on we think of them
And the ones with no sorrow to seek
An anniversary to forget
They are in our thoughts this week
Us drivers are a hardy bunch
So we’ve just done what we could
We’ve kept on going throughout the year
Working for the greater good
We’ve delivered medicines to the ill
Helped the elderly stay connected
We’ve served the city 24/7
With all passengers fully protected
Separated, sanitised and safe have become
The three buzzwords which help prove
That a Glasgow Taxi in 2021
Is a safe and clean way to move
What happens next, is still guesswork
Now’s the right time to use the word funnel
Because what we can all see coming soon
Is the light at the end of the tunnel!
We know things won’t be the same again
Not now, not soon, maybe not ever
But getting some of our freedoms back
Will be the best thing anyone can deliver
With vaccine numbers on the rise
And the relaxing of lockdown rules
We can’t wait to see more of you soon
At offices, pubs, stadiums, restaurants, schools
I’m proud we’ve made it through so far
Any Glaswegian is resilient, a survivor
But I won’t be happy till I hear that timeless phrase
“Aw right! Are you busy tonight, driver?”
Stay safe!
