Grape Harvest - Les Vendanges

Autumn has arrived in the Loire Valley.

Signalled by the start of les vendanges, grape harvest, next week at Domaine de la Paleine.

  1. A hungry fox one day did spy,
    Tweedle-deedle-dumpty,
    Tweedle deedle dee,
    Some ripe red grapes that hung so high,
    Tweedle-deedle-dumpty,
    Tweedle deedle dee.
    And as he watched, they seemed to say,
    To him, who underneath did stay,
    "If you can fetch us down you may."
    Tweedle-deedle-dumpty,
    Tweedle deedle dee.

    The fox soon found they hung too high,
    Tweedle-deedle-dumpty,
    Tweedle deedle dee,
    To reach them he in vain did try,
    Tweedle-deedle-dumpty,
    Tweedle deedle dee.
    He jumped and strained for 'bout an hour,
    The grapes were still beyond his power.
    "Who cares?", he said, "I'll bet they're sour."
    Tweedle-deedle-dumpty,
    Tweedle deedle dee.
