Huggermugger

I’m a huggermugger.

I hug a mug and I mug for hugs,

For a hug is a mug of hot cocoa,

Good for anyone

Anywhere

Anywhen

Anywhy.

So it’s interey how

People can’t wrap their heads

Around a hug

(Let alone their arms!)

They come and go,

They to and fro,

They do-si-do on a dally,

Yet ev’ry day

Around the clock

The streets resound with

Whoop-de-whoo!

Hullabaloo!

Tip a canoe to Kansas!

Though nobody knows

Or nobody cares

If any can even canoe

In Kansas.

They need a hug.

We need a hug.

Ev’rybody needs a hug!

If happy-go-lucky,

If down in the dumps,

If all frizzed up in a hairy

Over bristles and baubles.

Give a hug, take a hug,

Have a hug sameach,

And rock-a-bye-bye the confusion

Around true huggermuggery.

For the world needs huggermuggers

Not motherfe - fi - fo - fum -

Monster trucks!

No harm ever came of open arms,

And none should ever come

Of closed.

The only difference between

A hug and a thug

Is a T!

Which is as warm

In a mug as hot cocoa,

Which is stirred into seasons

On the compass of compassion,

Which is a smile with a heartbeat

And a while of splendid worth,

Which is what enriches life -

A hug enriches life!

I’m a huggermugger,

 And I’m giving a hug to you.

This is a fun write, and certainly fun to read! But on a serious note, hugs are good to give sometimes. I went to my cousin's funeral a few weeks ago, and I hugged some people there I had not seen in years. It felt good.

A hug enriches life, my friend....it's hugely underrated. And it's so therapeutic at the best of times. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading.

Hugs are underrated, but they provide the most comfort and happiness to one's life, even if they don't know they need one!

[emipoemi]

.....even if they don't know they need one - absolutely. Hit the nail right on the head there. Thanks for reading. Glad you enjoyed it.
