The Hokey Pokey (as written by W. Shakespeare).<\/p>\n
O proud left foot, that ventures quick within

\nAnon, once more the gesture, then begin:
\nCommand sinistral pedestal to writhe.
\nCommence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
\nmad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
\nTo spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
\nBlessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
\nThe Hoke, the poke — banish now thy doubt
\nVerily, I say, ’tis what it’s all about.<\/p>\n
