    The Hokey Pokey - Shakespearean Style

    Original Lyrics

    Put your left foot in,
    Your left foot out,
    Your left foot in,
    And shake it all about.
    You do the hokey pokey
    And turn yourself around
    That's what it's all about.

    Shakespearean Style

    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.

     
     

    Chow Time

    One of my husband's duties as a novice drill instructor at Fort Jackson, S.C., was to escort new recruits to the mess hall. After everyone had made it through the chow line, he sat them down and told them, "There are three rules in this mess hall: Shut up! Eat up! Get up!"

    Checking to see that he had everyone's attention, he asked, "What is the first rule?"

    Much to the amusement of the other instructors, 60 privates yelled in unison, "Shut up, Drill Sergeant!"
