And let's not forget, that physicists tell us belief affects the universe at some weird quantum level- or at least the person I live with, who reads physicists, says that. Constantly.

You liked a similar thing I posted recently. Isn't this one fun? There's something lovely about it. I"m going to google and see if there are others from this contest online.

The following is from the Washington Post Style Invitational contest that required contestants to submit entries in the for of instructions for something (anything), written in the style of a famous person.

The winning entry was "Do The Hokey-Pokey" as would have been written by W. Shakespeare.

Shakespeare's version of "Do the Hokey-Pokey."

by Nina Williams-Mbengue

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal 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.
