Wind

The snake likes to wend in a slither
When Donald's lips move, it's a blither
But the wind, for a treat
As it blows down the street
Loves to whither both hither and thither

Author Notes
Today's word: whither (v.) see below.
slither: to move in a snake-like motion.
blither: talk nonsense.
whither: to move with great force; to buffet like the wind.
hither and thither: here and there.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
