I Met A Man Upon The Stair

Ever heard of a poem that's so silly, so utterly nonsensical, it just sticks with you? Well, buckle up, because I'm about to tell you about one. It's called "I Met A Man Upon The Stair."

The Nonsense That Makes Sense

This poem is pure, unadulterated fun. It's written by Hugh Mynne. You might not recognize the name, and that's okay!

What matters is the poem itself. It's short, sweet, and delightfully absurd.

What's It About?

Basically, it's about, well, meeting a man on the stair. Seems simple, right?

Wrong! This isn't your average encounter. This man wasn't *there* again today!

It's a cycle of meeting, not meeting, and general confusion. Prepare for existential giggles!

The poem uses simple language. This makes it easy to understand. But don't let that fool you!

The meaning, or lack thereof, is what makes it so special. It playfully messes with your expectations.

Why It's So Entertaining

So, why is this little ditty so captivating? It's all about the absurdity.

Think Monty Python meets children's verse. It's the kind of thing that makes you say, "Huh?" and then immediately grin.

The repetition is key. The recurring line about the man "who wasn't there again today" just gets funnier each time.

It creates a sense of escalating bewilderment. You're in on the joke, even if you don't quite know what the joke *is*.

It also taps into a universal feeling. The feeling of things not quite making sense. We've all been there, haven't we?

Staring at something that should work but doesn’t. Looking for something that should be there, but isn't.

A Poem That Sticks With You

Trust me, once you read "I Met A Man Upon The Stair" it will stay with you. You'll find yourself randomly thinking about that elusive man.

Maybe even chuckling to yourself in the grocery store. Don't be surprised if you start reciting it to your friends.

It's a perfect example of how something simple can be incredibly clever. The poem doesn’t try too hard.

It doesn't attempt to be profound or deeply meaningful. It's just a bit of lighthearted fun, and it nails it.

Give It A Read!

I highly recommend seeking out Hugh Mynne's wonderfully weird poem. You can find it online easily.

Read it aloud! Share it with your family! Embrace the nonsensical!

It's a short poem. Reading time should take less than a minute.

It's a small dose of joy. You might even find yourself pondering the deeper questions of existence... or not.

Who knows, maybe you'll even meet a man upon the stair. Just don't be surprised if he's not there again tomorrow.

So, go forth and discover the magic of the man who wasn't there. You won't regret it!

This poem, a testament to whimsical verse, invites you to embrace the delightful unknown.
