    In memoriam

    With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

    Now you got me humming it. I gave him a mourning period when he died in 1996.

      It's amazing how many people seem to be enjoying this, and on hearing the news, they feel like dancing.

        I hear his final words were, "So THAT's what it's all about..."

          I'm just afeared that someday we all might find out that the hokey-pokey really is what it's all about...

              I'd say rest his soul but I'm guessing he'll be shaking it all about instead
