I'Ll Even Hug a Passing Frog

Hugging I have heard is coming back to stay for rumour has it we are fast approaching National Hugging Day Awaiting an announcement from Prime Minister Boris J All hugging can resume here on the 17th of May Three cheers my friends Hip hip Hooray have waited for so long For now at last I can embrace My friends My family My cat My dog So full of hugs am I I’ll even hug a passing frog Hugs they bring so many smiles I am a hugger born and bred For many months I had to hug you virtually instead but now it seems it’s mandatory for Boris he has said So here I come with arms outstretched to make up for lost time Hugging you so tightly I may never ever let you go Your tender hugs how much I’ve missed for you will never know They fill my heart when we’re apart twinkle and shine ~ until next time… Written 10th May 2021 Contest ALL YOURS (May 11) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

The pandemic has removed so many things we took for granted - sending HUGE hugs to you Ann, we hugged our elderly friends last Sunday - so good to be able to mix with them once again, who would have thought how our lives would be so controlled:-( hugs and hugs again:-) Jan xx I found not being able to hug our friend at her hubbies funeral one of the hardest things to bear during lockdown:-(

Hugging is a means to show affection and one does not hug without reason. I rarely hug virtually on the soup. Many do so for reasons of their own. But you are such an affectionate you deserve one. Hugs
