I’m not sure where you’re going with this message, but it reminds me of my younger days, when people were more touchy-feely, & hugs were passed around freely. I love the title of your poem & it’s the perfect phrase to describe the kind of person you probably are – a big ole teddy bear! It’s a great way to describe the kind of people who are just cuddly in their way of being, even if you’ve never seen such a person face-to-face, some people just deliver hugs with their overall attitude in life. That’s what your poem conjures up in me! (((HUGS))) Fondly Margie
Way off kiddo! No politics whatsoever. Simply the joy of childhood! Where's your Teddy Bear guy?

Ahh. I see. Maybe that's why i missed the mark. Never was a Teddy Bear guy in my youth! Well.....eve.. read moreAhh. I see. Maybe that's why i missed the mark. Never was a Teddy Bear guy in my youth! Well.....even the best can make mistakes, Alfred!
Seems like a sly reference to the growing influence of China in this modern world. That great big panda that smiles and hugs. Yet is that hug genuine or all for show? That is the big question.
That is how i interpreted this write, Alfred. I might be way off. Either way, this is a very clever piece. Certainly one to think on. Nicely conceived.
so gone is the elephant, replaced by a panda... hmmm neverland will never be the same again... but then was it really ever friendly??? you probably need that "code" to know the answers.... nicely written Al...
Hmm....you can never be sure who hugs you. Unfortunately, some will hug you only to stab you in the back. I think there is a lot going on in this one, Al. Sounds like a cocktail party where the talk is small and the people not what they may seem. LydI***
