Hither and yon is an old-style
Perhaps, even an out-moded,
Mandate, a directive that also
Might suggest a scatter-shot
Charge, a bit of indeciveness,
Forgetfulness in the absent
Minded style. Hither, yon, yet
There's no waffling out of a
Desire to run out the clock.
Yes, you go back-and-forth.
But with no intention other
Than earnest toing or froing
In search of who knows what.
