Fly with us and a bit of poetry!

ANTIGONISH

by Hughes Means, 1899

Yesterday upon the stair,

I met a man who wasn’t there.

He wasn’t there again today

I wish, I wish he’d go away…

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 anymore!

Go away, and please don’t slam the door…

Last night I saw upon the stairs,

A little man who wasn’t there.

He wasn’t there again today

Oh, how I wish he’d go away…
