Medication for Fight-O-net's History of WAR

Hugs

No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, nontaxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;

It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.

Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorate your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!

Your circulation it corrects!
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend,... the hug!

(and, of course, fully returnable!) I like that part best...

HAVE YOU HUGGED A FRIEND TODAY?

       Hugged  &  Hugger

I will not play Tug O' War
I'd rather play Hug O' War...
Where everyone hugs,
no one feathers and tars,
also no disparaging tugs.

Instead of the royal finger,
or the nasty belittling note,
addressed to a foe in anger
send a HUG and then emote.

Where everyone is polite,
and everyone grins...
everyone cuddles tight,
and everyone wins.
