We have on this list such a learned and scholarly bunch that I'm certain
many of us will want to sing this version on the job:


 
Subject: Hokey Pokey ala Shakespeare
(The Hokey Pokey)

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heaven's yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.

‹by William Shakespeare channeled by Ralph Besser
