Come Hither, Come Thither

Come hither, come thither, come nigh
   Don't dither, don't blither, don't sigh
 
Ask me how, ask me where, ask me why
   Come hither, come thither, come nigh
 
Dance airily, dance merrily, dance spry 
   Not warily, contrarily or sly

Come hither, come thither, come nigh
   Bedazzle, becharm, beautify
 
Do sparkle, do sizzle, do fly
   Ask me how, ask me where, ask me why
  
Be gracious, vivacious, sagacious
   Not voracious, rapacious or salacious
  
Don't be judgmental, tempermental or ungentle  
   Come hither, come thither, come nigh  

Don't shout, don't pout, don't cry
   Tread lightly, tread brightly, glorify

Come hither, come thither, come nigh
   Ask me how, ask me where, ask me why

Reading this was a little like bouncing on a trampoline - exhilarating with a slight loss of control!

Perfect. I intended this to be for 'kids from 8 to 80.' ~ Gershon
