Sour Grapes (1921)
by
William Carlos Williams
The Poor
By
constantly tormenting them
with
reminders of the lice in
their children's hair, the
School Physician
first
brought their hatred down on him.
But by this familiarity
they grew used to him, and so,
at last,
took him for their
friend and adviser.
