What is the Hokey Pokey and is that REALLY what it's all about? I mean...you put your right foot in, you put your right foot out, you put the right foot back in there and you shake it all about.
One might suggest the hokey pokey is what you do as you turn yourself about; AKA jazz hands. I think it's high time that we took a harder look at the TRUE meaning of the hokey pokey and how it applies in our own lives. Now that may cause us to have to shake things up a bit, and get the earth moving. In the end you might just be kicking up some dust and shuffling like a madman around on the floor clapping your hands and having a good time; and THATS what it's all about.
