Tis all
shilly-shally, dilly dally
wiffle waffle, willy wobble
quiver and dither
teeter and twitch,
which whatever, wherefore wobble
hem and haw, ho and hum
Tis all a dithery tizz
Thin Mints, an oxymoron
Heavy Mints is spot on
I think willpower deserves a badge
Never can eat just one
My goal? To make a Scouts’ pledge
I hem and haw and hedge
No more cookies, I wail
Try as I might I fail
So I eat the whole sleeve instead
Ordinary moments
for ordinary people,
living inside the dream
Like comfortable shoes,
a dog that won’t leave you,
treasures to esteem
Ordinary moments
for ordinary people,
the rest to scratch and claw
To get to a place
they’ll never find
—condemned to hem and haw

Hem and haw, Mr. Candidate
Just beat around that bush
When all you do is stall for time
You surely cover your tush
You open your mouth and words fly out
I’d swear that you said something
But as I reran your speech on Insta-Gram
I see that you meant nothing
Those who are ever-persistent
take pride in being consistent
Never quitting what they start
they're considered quite smart...
Others hem and haw, never sure
if they should move on or stay put
Yet whenever they choose to move on
they feel they shot themselves in the foot...
As for me, I'm nor twixt nor between
'cos based on the evidence I've seen
These words be my epitaph
~ He planned; God laughed
