Perhaps your right Pif .... I didn't think it was so obvious.

As for the poem, I didn't write it. It was written by William Hughes Mearns

The original

Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today

Oh how I wish he'd go away.


The not so original (appeared in Mad Mag after Watergate)

There was a man upon the stair
When I looked back, he wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today

I think he's from the CIA.

cool bananas ... greg
