I Saw A Man Who Wasn T There
Camila Farah
Antigonish i met a man who wasn t there yesterday upon the stair yesterday upon the stair the academy of american poets is the largest membership based nonprofit organization fostering an appreciation for contemporary poetry and supporting american poets.
I had come across this piece of nonsense verse earlier too and saw it again a few days ago. Go away go away and please don t slam the door. It is also known as the little man who wasn t there and was adapted as a hit song under the latter title. Go away go away and please don t slam the door.
Slam last night i saw upon the stair a little. Last night i saw upon the stair a little man who wasn t there. 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. Lines written for the psycho ed an amateur play in philadelphia 1910 set to music in 1939 as the little man who wasn t there.
I couldn t see him there at all. He wasn t there again today. Go away go away don t you come back any more. Go away go away don t you come back any more.
