I am sorry to be the bearer of this 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 recently.

Larry La Prise, 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.

I know. I know! I must have taken at least 20 minutes or more to get
him in the damn casket.

But it all came under control when they got past the part ....

The Hokey Cokey was around long before Larry La Prise copyrighted it in the
US.
