Question

One summer's day a Fox was passing through
An orchard; faint he was and hungry too.
When suddenly his keen eye chanced to fall
Upon a bunch of grapes upon the wall.
Ha! Just the thing!' he said. “Who could resist it!'
He eyed the purple cluster - jumped - and missed it.
ahem! he coughed. “I'll take more careful aim'
And he sprang again. Results were much the same,
Although his leaps were desperate and high.
At length he paused to wipe a tearful eye,
And shrug a shoulder. 'I am not dry,
And lunch is bound to come within the hour ...
Sesides,' he said, 'I'm sure those grapes are sour.
