gummy twine and berber bear hugs

my mind is going this way
but the body has gone that ~
someone come and get me
and tell me where I’m at

someone give me a ball of twine
a little wine
would help
and I’ll take some chewing gum
before you hear me yelp!

if I use the twine just right
and seal myself with gum
perhaps I will start to sing
or maybe, just a hum…

and while I’m not a “bear-y” person
a berber bear would do
something to hug real tight
to get me what I’m going through

so as I chew my nerves askew
and wrap myself in twine
someone give me more to-do
to occupy my mind
and watch me wrap up, neatly bow
my worries to my bear, just so
for a little berber bear
would be oh so much better
if he were to hug my load
right down to the very letter

so give me a ball of twine,
some chewing gum to fix
all that a berber bear’s hugs
can’t begin to lick
and I’ll be fine,
with ball of twine
a stick of gum or two
and my berber bear and me
we’ll get through all this, too!

Delightful, absolutely!!!

There are some words that could be pared probably in a fine-tuning, but I love the theme and how you got through it...I hope you get through what you're going through in as beautiful and delightful a fashion.
