H U G S

Come here, you big lug!

                            Don’t give me a shrug!

Or I’ll give you a slug!

                           Put down that mug!

Come give me a hug!

                           Cause that is my drug!

Got the loneliness bug!

                           Let’s roll on the rug!

And get really snug!

                           Oh, come…..


               Come give me a H U G!!!

Hugging for me is a MUST! Can't live without it!

Such a different atmosphere coming from you! I loved the lightheartedness of it (I have a nephew that avoids hugs like the plague... maybe I should read him your poem and see if he changes his mind... lol!).
