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.

    Umm, that's a little too happy huggy for me, lol. How about we just try not to destroy everything in our paths for a change?

    Of course it's a serious poem beneath the warm giggles, that desire for equanimity, concordance and civility. But can you imagine a life where everyone played, "hug o'war?"...I think I saw a Twilight Zone episode like that once.

    Beautiful

    simple and sweet.no one likes war. peace is the only sign of humanity...Ah but peace is always an interval between two wars. Utopia does'nt exist.

    what an ideal life we could have in in fact we did 'hug' and not 'tug'
    Written to amuse but a much deeper meaning for me.

    hope

    yes, this is a cute & amusing & light-hearted & optimistic decima
    with a rollicking rhythm...peace man...peace...this poem should be
    printed in every newspaper on the front page, & read on the radio after the news & played as an ad on TV...

    oh it's a scary world we're living in...

    this poem brings hope...
