stairs:

my recollection of a poem by anonymous:

                       ,,,
                     ~~'J'       As I was walking down the stair,
                        =    M
                       _|_  /    I met a man who wasn't there;

                      | |        He wasn't there again today;
                      | |

Although someone else claims that it is: 
I met a man upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
Oh, how I wish he'd go away.
