THE SAP proudly recalls riding on a tram just like the one in this photograph

It was sent to me by Isabel Whyte who knows the area well. And the tram which The Sap often rode into downtown Glasgow (and which was remembered, about 45 years on, by Mrs Margaret Whyte) was the No 22

The Sap rode in a tram
From up at Possil High School
To Hope Street, with a man
Who spoke to her of painting
Who liked the way she sang
Who set her on the path towards
Performing with a band
Until The Sap became a sap
(tho doomed to head that way)
She rarely looked back with regret
At all she'd failed to say
To others who were loving
It's much the same today
As Joni told us long ago
We're slow to learn
What matters most
So slow we often let it go
And only know
When it has gone
How much we should have
Treasured love and kept it
Safe and strong
