POOH STICKS
12/2/2004 Alan Winston
32-bar jig or reel
3-cpl longways, 2S IMPROPER

A1: Left file takes hands in line, then, skipping, weaves 
    down right file (across top, between 1 and 2, between 2 and 3,
    below 3 and back to place).

A2: Right file the same.

B1: 1-4: Top two couples 1/2 draw poussette (men drawing) WHILE
         bottom couple two-hand turn (or short swing)
    5-8: Bottom two couples (1s and 3s) draw poussette (men draw) WHILE
         top couple two-hand turn (or short swing).

B2: 1-8: Slipping circle left and back to the right; left file keep hands,
         ready to start.  (Alternatively, polka step all the way around 
         which gives left file momentum to start A1 in the right direction).

(Title refers both to Winnie-ther-Pooh's game of dropping sticks in the river
[and my hope the dance will flow] and to the combination of poussettes and an
echo of "Picking of Sticks."]
