[Time to return to the world of raunchy men’s underwear ads; what follows is not for kids or the sexually modest]
I have a verse (which is a play on a familiar comic poem):
(#1) “Stair Cruising”, a lubricious variant of “Antigonish” (“I met a man who wasn’t there”)
There will be photos, of both yesterday’s (receptive) man and today’s (insertive) man, both offering their bodies, in flagrant cruise poses, clothed in sportswear offered by the Daily Jocks company — and displaying their goods on a flight of stairs. Step up and take the challenge!
(There are notes on cruise poses in my 2/10/22 posting “Hustle and trick: the cruise pose”)
Yesterday’s cruiser. In my 4/10/20 posting “Easter eggs 2020.2: The homoerotic egg hunt”:
(#2) [2020 caption:] The butt offer: it’s all yours, buddy!
Today’s cruiser. Literally today’s: from the 4/6 DJ e-mail ad:
(#3) In a beefcake pitsntits pose — and that face!

(Well, yes, he does have legs. But our eyes have settled elsewhere.)
The original poem. “Antigonish” (“I met a man who wasn’t there”) was composed in 1899 as a song in a play, then published in 1922, by (William) Hughes Mearns (1875-1965), an American educator and poet. The well-known first verse:
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
