To hem and haw means to hesitate and say meaningless things before making a decision. It can also mean to whine.
To hem and haw is to evade answering an awkward question. Literally, hemming is clearing the throat ("ahem"), and hawing is saying " Um, er, well, uh... "
Sin is personified in Line one when it says "Hem and Haw were the sons of sin." The title is even an example of personification. Hem and haw are words to describe your brain figuring something out while your mouth tries to explain it. But this poem personifies hemming and hawing as people who don't do anything.

After finding the cheese at Cheese Station C, Hem and Haw reacted differently in their approach to the situation. Haw embraced the discovery and celebrated the cheese, adapting to the new reality with optimism. In contrast, Hem remained resistant and complacent, clinging to the belief that the cheese would always be there, unwilling to change or seek new opportunities. This divergence highlighted their differing mindsets toward change and adaptability.
