well, at least your reluctant hugger was much nicer than mine!!
He wasn't a self-centered jerk. However, "mauled" IS a pretty strong word for hugs. tsk tsk - he's going to miss a lot in life.
This is cute, Yvette. You gotta love his expression.

    You know, even though I came up with this crazy one, I didn't really know what to do with this one when it was time to actually 'write' because I really wasn't in a 'sappy' mood -- not that 'sappy' is a bad thing, just wasn't in the pen this time! Thank you for the review, my lady -- hope y'all have some sun over there! ;) Yvette

    yep, got sun, though chilly. A bunch of us who go out to dinner on Saturday nights are hoping to be able to sit outside tomorrow night.
    Remains to be seen.
    My sister in SC called this AM, saying it was snowing! Our weather has been so beautiful that yesterday I bought 2 Kangaroo Paws plants to put out by front door. Their colors are glorious and the tag said they're hardy up to 25 degrees.
    I'll let you know if they're telling the truth.
    Have a fun weekend.

Using mass hugging to shut up a frequent joke teller--Now that's a new one on me. Your dueling limericks are excellent in all respects--clear in its message, skillfully composed, and amusing.

A very well-written dual Limerick about the huggers and the anti-huggers that not always work out well for everyone some just have to do what they have to do.

I think this is a good entry for the Dueling Limericks: Hugging Day! writing prompt.
The two limericks tell a great story of Sid the Kidder and how his co-workers chose to deal with him.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

It sounds as though they worked with my son, Sid
He is a dynamic young man and very successful as
the American Family Ins. agent in Cedarburg, WI
Thanks for sharing his antics.

Humorous and appropriate piece. I had no idea there was a day set aside as a National Hugginy Day. LOL I can imagine this taking an awkward turn in my workplace as well. Love the pace and rhythm here....catchy and well worded. Thank you for sharing a pleasant smile to begin the day!

"Solving Sid"
A Limerick Hugging Contest Entry.
Was well-written and Rich in Theme and Imagery.
...
It also, read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
...
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks and good luck with this.

Haha, that's such a fun poem. I especially love the rhymes you used for this one. It's wonderfully written and I really enjoyed reading it. I think this is a great entry for the writing prompt.

I thought the first Limerick here had a great meter, the words were meaningful and a joy to read. The second Limerick was a bit disjointed and disappointing, but I still wish you luck with the contest, love Dolly x

    Thank you, Dolly, for pointing that out... it's been me and this migraine since Friday noon and I DEFINITELY should have taken more time with that... I just realized the deadline was here and put it together! Hopefully, it sounds a bit better now... a bit easier to compose in tha dark room after a few hours of sleep, I guess.... hoping this spike 'lets go' sometime today. ;( Thank you again for always being straight up! ;)

This is a cute entry for the dualing limerick contest. I too would look for a new job if there were huggers. The end of the first stanza has hid did. This seems like an error to me. You may want to check that. Great job and thank you for sharing.
