Kid the man sees here and there (5)
I believe the answer is:
tease
'kid' is the definition.
(both can mean to mock)
'man sees here and there' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'tea' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'here and there' means one should take alternating letters (here and then can mean regularly).
The alternate letters of 'sees' are 'se'.
'tea'+'se'='TEASE'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Kid" , "Comb or card (wool)" , "Chaff" , "Pull leg of" , "Twit - flirt" .)
