Hug O' War

You asked for it, and here it is. The winner of my poetry poll. One of my favorites as well. For Poetry Wednesday, I give you...

Hug O' War


I will not play at tug o' war,
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs,
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles,
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

-Shel Silverstein
