Reminded me of an abridged version of the 'Mariner' - tried to find it - no luck yet. It was only three or four verses long. Can remember a few lines in case it inspires someone to comeup with the rest:

I tweaked a bleeding albatross
And shot him through the head
And when I saw what I had done
I wished that I was dead

What with that bird about me neck
And spirits in the water
I knew that thing that I had done
I really hadn't oughta

I ate my humble, wouldn't you

and so on...

Blaming the dog's fleas? That's silly, the real culprit is the Buck Mice.

Puleeze Bruce, youre talking about a man who still tries to get me to fall for 'pull my finger, pull my finger!!'..Dad's, they never grow up.

Mari, that analogy just doesn't work. I'm not 'sour grapes' because I asked you to help and you didn't. You DID help me, so, I did, metaphorically, 'eat the grapes'. I just found your help to be...well, not very helpful. It's not a matter of 'oh, I WANTED those grapes and couldn't get them; I'll bet they are sour anyway'--it's a matter of, "I ate those grapes. They weren't all that great."

See how that works?
