    Here's a story of fox and grapes,
    and advice, good or bad, and a small twist in fate

    The old stories, before they were changed
    spoke of great wisdom, and to my sight it's plain
    Common sense, is a funny term, when spat out by hypocrits
    You must use their eyes, they say, never knowledge you know that fits

    Now a fox and his grapes, for those spiritually leaning
    Is a story of perseverence and patience, if you know it's meaning

    A good lesson altered by eyes and hands before us
    Who made a sad story of something joyous

    For the grapes weren't sour, only unripe
    And the fox came back, perhaps the next night
    To eat the grapes that would naturally fall
    For struggle is gravity, to those who hear the call

    different perspective on an old fable, good idea, the last four lines work the best for me
