A Hug A Day Won't Keep Me Away

A hug a day
won't keep me away.
No, it won't.
A hug a day
won't keep me away.

It's like an addiction.
I can't get enough.
Always back for me.
Can't keep me away.

It's part of a balanced diet.
I keep coming back for extras.
And for dessert,
another hug will do.

One size fits all.
Of that I'm grateful.
Demand is greater
than the supply.

A hug really makes my day.
Just remember this.
A hug a day
won't keep me away.
