I will not play Tug O' War,
I'd rather play Hug O' War;
Where everyone hugs, instead of tugs,
And everyone giggles and rolls on the rug.
Where everyone kisses,
and everyone grins;
everyone cuddles,
and everyone wins.

- Shel Silverstein

You have just been hugged!!
That's right, there's no getting out of it this time!!
This is the start of a full-scale Hug O' War!
So hug everyone you know!!!
Hug your friends, your enemies, everyone!!
With all the other forwards out there,
I thought this would be a good one to start.
It can mean so much, and many things at the same time.
It can be a sign of love, friendship, comfort or anything.
So here you go. It should brighten someone's day.
I mean, we all need a hug once in awhile.
So send this on if you'd like, to anyone who may need a hug,
Goodness knows, we could all REALLY use a hug sometimes.
So send this on and show someone you care!!
