That's what it's all about...

Post by LadyTevar »

The following is from the Washington Post Style Invitational contest that
asks readers to submit "instructions" for something (anything), but written
in the style of a famous person.
The winning entry was The Hokey Pokey (as written by W. 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.

-- with apologies to William Shakespeare

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.
