Poking the Bear

Rianne in Bearlin

Rianne in Berlin

Metaphors and parables elicited and not to be eluded

THERE was a bear called Ten
Ten was routinely provoked
Sometimes he growled
Sometimes he hit
Sometimes he bit
The bear was reactionary
Then the bear filed a complaint about pesky humans poking him
Humans said this bear was dangerous
They moreover alleged that this bear was “attacking” them by complaining about how it had been treated
They said they were bear victims

Don’t poke the bear.
