Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The Fox and the Grapes

An old fable by Aesop talks

Of a tale that is meant to teach.

Through the woods walks a hungry fox,

And sees some nice grapes out of reach.

He tries to climb to no avail.

He tries to grab the grapes by leap.

In all efforts the fox does fail.

His exasperation runs deep.

He walks away in mood dour,

Muttering that he is better off.

Most likely those grapes are sour,

Not worth his while, the fox does scoff.

The moral of this fable does be,

Don't fantasize reality.
