Hokey-pokey 
rhymes with Skokie
  largest village in the land

New York's a city
'tis a pity
  still inhabited by man

The temptation is so easy
The cost cheaper than money
The moment is very funny
The idea so sunny
         Yummy for tummy
Lets do the hokey pokey 
Cheating becoming cozy
        Okey dokey
But there are fumes, and smells phony
        Hooey...

The Man in the Pokey

There once was a man in the pokey.
He was dancing; his movements were hokey.
He jiggled and jumped.
Then fell on his rump.
So he sat there and sang karaoke.

My neighbor Mike loves karaoke
Who sings off-tune a Hokey Pokey;

          Grinds he with delight
          But it's twelve of night...

Irked, my alarm whips that voice croaky.

NO  GRANDMA,   THEY’RE NOT DANCING


Put  your left one in

And don’t take it out  -

In  out, in out,  shake  it till you shout:

That’s  what  it’s  all  about.

“No, not the hokey-cokey,   No, not. . . . ”

Spice of life
Spunky
Monkey

Cultured dance
Hokey 
Pokey

Treetop climb
Showoff
Blow off

Pride precedes
Humble
Tumble

Waiting bush

Watching girls

Normal day
Madly
Badly

Monkeys see
You do
Do too

Game is born:
Spunky monkey hokey pokey showoff blow off humble tumble got him caught him bushy pushy!

A Curious Creation is an Auto:
        You name it to reflect
          The Personality it ought to.

        Call her 'Linda,' and she's your girl;
        Dub her 'Rocket,'
        To give her a whirl.
          If she's 'Betsy,' she's old and pokey,
          While 'Elizabeth''is a tad bit hokey.
         
        To convey solidity and trust
        Call your car 'Ben.'
        And if you want to save money,
          --Pay for it in yen....
