HUG O’ WAR by SHEL SILVERSTEIN
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.
Shel Silverstein (September 25, 1930 – May 10, 1999) was an American poet, singer-songwriter, musician, composer, cartoonist, screenwriter and author of children's books. I highly recommend anything by him so check out his official website for kids, full of wonderful things.
* tug o' war is an athletic contest between two teams who haul at the opposite ends of a rope. Metaphorically it also describes a demonstration of brute strength by two opposing groups.
