Some sample clues from my 3-themed (threemed?) puzzle!

'Doctor nursed last of 3 bears (7)'
'Gossip arising about a threesome (5)'
'Turn locks with code that's possibly 3333 (7)'

The Question    Erm, well – I begin, shifting nervously in my chair –  if it’s true there is no heaven and no hell,   no eternity or long hereafter,   no divine plan or offstage direction from an invisible hand,  then how do we make sense of it all,  how do we make our way through this life, this glorious, ridiculous, ramshackle world of ours,  with its wars and brutality, conflicts and petty arguments,  the ten thousand tiny acts of kindness   which happen unnoticed before breakfast,  and all that love and pain, happiness and loneliness  that comes to us unannounced, by turns,   as if we ourselves were pitched daily   onto the waves of one of its vast, mysterious oceans,  not knowing whether today is the day we drown  or we find ourselves washed up   on some strange but friendly shore?     Mmm – you say, after a lengthy silence –  what I meant was … do you have any questions   about the job?  Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘The Question’.

I snuck in 3332 as well just to make sure, hope that's okay!

A big thank you to @henriwords.com for test solving and offering some very useful feedback!

It’s Time To Grow Up | Defector HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but ...

“It is beneath my dignity to let myself be run over by any trolley, and particularly this trolley, burdened as it is by a cape and a stupid hat.”

I wrote for Defector about boycotting Harry Potter, the ‘safe’, kindly face of anti-trans politics:
