Hokey Pokey Heritage

There is much pride in heritage. Even if heritage is ages old and almost forgotten, some little nuances are bound to be passed on through the years. The Hokey Pokey happens to be apart of my German heritage and still heralded at the majority of family gatherings. With that, I had to share this little joke to get the day started:

"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."
