Silly Hithy - a folk song

Giggled Hetha during supper:
You know Hithy, short and bold?
That lad took a stroll in full moon,
Went to visit Ithrós halls!

  Granny nodded. "Jolly Hithy!
Likes to take some midnight strolls,
There's no better place for moonviews,
Than a step from Ithrós halls"!

  Agreed Mother: "Atta, Hithy!
The best climber, never falls!
He'll be first one in the village,
To see moonlit Ithrós halls"!

  Father added: "Nice guts, Hithy!
Grabs the moment when it calls!
He'll see blindies, caverns, marvels
Streaming straight to Ithrós halls!

  Door blasts open! It is Hithy!
C'mon, tell! How were your strolls?
"I was sleepy, I was sleeping,
I'm asleep in Ithrós' halls"!

Aye, the myth is in the process. But I must warn you it will not be a jolly story. :]
