I don't know who wrote this, but it says on the Internet that it was written by Hugh Mearns. I suppose the dandelion refers to a 1964 US campaign ad about nuclear war.
As I was walking up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away.
I guess you're referring to http://wilsonsalmanac.blogspot.com/2005/07/bombings-dandelion-seeds-blow-in.html Gerald. My poem does begin with a parody of that verse. But the dandelion ref is my own, and nought to do with the 1964 ad.
