Shakespeare’s Hokey Pokey
Here’s the original text of Shakespeare style Hokey Pokey, by Jeff Brechlin:
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 Heavens 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”
Brechlin wrote this for the Washington Post Style Invitational contest.
