The Shakespearean Hokey Pokey

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinstral pedastal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from heaven's yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke—banish now thy doubt.
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.



Via.

"Green Eggs and Ham, rehashed

Ah, there's nothing like sprucing up a classic with a more appropriate title and/or cover art!

 Hamlet, reconsidered.

 Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo just gets a different dragon.

And Joseph Conrad's Into the Heart of Darkness is now a Maurice Sendak-ish children's adventure!

P.S. I'm not linking back to the self-apparent source for family-friendly reasons.
