Bear Hugs
People who give bear hugs
are very charming people to me,
always expressing themselves
open and affectionately,
it doesn't matter if they're
male or female or
if their black of white,
after feeling down and then
getting hugged you suddenly
feel loved and feather light,
but don't do what a guy
named Timothy Treadwell did
which to me was a little extreme,
if you read about it which happened
in the 1990's you will plainly see,
when out in the wilds of Alaska
he'd get friendly with the grizzlies,
hanging out and hobnobbing
with the giant ferocious creatures,
he'd wander up to each one of them
as if they were teddy bears trying to reach
out and touch and almost hug them,
and in one video of him it looked
like he was trying to play tag your it in it,
now most of the grizzlies ignored
him thinking oh its just that crazy Tim,
and Tim thought hey these bears
love me and getting killed is very slim,
when one fateful day as Timothy
and his girlfriend were in their tent
about to leave they had quite a surprise,
a mean old grizzly bear came calling
with nothing but revenge on his bear mind,
who had had enough of Tim
and his grizzly bear handling ways,
and if only Tim had hugged his own kind
he and his girlfriend would still be alive today.
