The Visiting Teaching Don't Be Pokey

My RS is having a VT workshop this week and I was asked to do a silly something to encourage the sisters to do their VT early in the month. Even though I haven't done mine yet this month, I did make up new words to the familiar Hokey Pokey:here goes...

The Visiting Teaching Don’t Be Pokey
(sung to the tune of The Hokey Pokey)

By the 5th you’ve made your contact, by 15th you’ve (done the date,
(five fingers arc across body, three hand claps)
By the 20th you report it, 25th it’s kinda late!
(pop 10 fingers twice, high five fingers then throw away)
But, you DO it, don’t be pokey, and you’ll turn some lives around.
(shake a chiding finger, both hands victory ‘V’ as your turn a circle)
That’s what it’s all about!
(slap knees twice, clap twice, victory ‘V’s)

Jump right in and serve your sisters, put your shoulder to the wheel.
(big jump foward, alternate shoulder shrugs)
Add a little elbow grease and then you’ll see how good you feel!
(elbows flapping twist)
Just DO it, don’t be pokey, and you’ll turn some lives around.
(shake a chiding finger, both hands make victory ‘V’ as you turn a circle)
That’s what it’s all about!
2 knees, 2 claps, V’s

You put your head in (know your ladies), You take your nose out (no gossiping)
tip you head way forward, grab your nose and take it out
You throw your whole heart in and then you shake it all about!
hands to heart then throw them forward in the champion shake
You DO it, don’t be pokey, and you’ll turn some lives around.
shake a chiding finger, both hands make victory ‘V’ as you turn a circle
That’s what it’s all about!
2 knees, 2 claps, V’s

You do your Vis’ting Teaching, you do your Vis’ting Teaching,
hand jive i.e., 2 knees, 2 claps, hands cross over R / L, fists R /L, thumbs up R/L
You do you Vis’ting Teaching, THAT’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT!
both hands ‘Vs’ with turn, knees, claps, V’s

Oh, yeah!!!!
Victory V’s high and shake

SO cute, Fay.
Please keep posting any cute songs you make up - they can be helpful in so many ways! Your creativity is so fun! I'll never forget the song you wrote for our family "My relatives are Rich!"

Mom, I saw a copy of this at your house and was, as usual, in awe of your creativity! Where did those genes go? (I know...to Adri!) You can do anything!
