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 contest to write a series of instructions in the style of a famous writer.
