". . . the ageless truths of life, like many of the earth's greatest thinkers, have usually been clothed in shabby garments." - M.P. Hall (If you've made it this far, read on, below.)

"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![5]

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away.... "

- William Hughes Mearns
