Sad News

I received this via email today and although I don’t normally forward such things, I felt this to be very important.

Sad News

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 that wrote “The Hokey Pokey” died peacefully
at the age of 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.

    Larry probably would have enjoyed the humour behind the comment as only someone who really enjoyed life could have written those lyrics.

    Or is it… perhaps it is a conspiracy to make people who sing off key better about themselves?

    Meinrosebud! Another conspiracy theorist! Next you’ll be saying that Sept11 was perpetrated by the US government… Wait somebody already did that one!

    It’s a song for the non capitalist among us, money isn’t REALLY what it’s all about, the hokey pokey is.
    Thank you for opening my eyes, now I’m off to pay the phone bill with a little hokey pokey….
