Years ago at hand cranked pump Where glass filled twice for just four shillings, There waved one flag with company name, No need for gaudy billings. The willing man with streaky cloth Would check the water and oil, And if the tyres looked underdone Would smile at happy toil. Windscreen too would feel his strength, A labour of love to clean, And soft cloth gently laid on paint To protect from overalls lean. No need to walk the mile to till Or grumble over change, The happy face made motoring fun, Now attendants act so strange. Without the driver calling For five or ten of juice All would soon be on their bikes, Watching ends so loose. Is petrol for the purchaser To pay and then receive, Any salesman to do his bidding And cars emptiness relieve? To do it as a service, To smile, and not castigate The busy, thoughtfull, driver, On an errand, and getting late? CLIFFORDS. WELL HALL. |
