[Aedan Aylwyn]

Got this from another list, but since it came from the Washington Post...

>The Hokey Pokey, by William Shakespeare:
>
>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.
>
>- Jeff Brechlin, of Potomac Falls, Va., winner of a Washington Post
