The
Parable of the Prodigal Son in F
(The Final Fixing of the Foolish Fugitive)
Feeling
footloose, fancy-free and frisky, this feather-brained fellow finagled
his fond father into forking over his fortune. Forthwith, he fled
for foreign fields and frittered his farthings feasting fabulously
with fair-weather friends.
Finally, fleeced by those folly filled fellows and facing famine,
he found himself a feed flinger in a filthy farm-lot. He fain would
have filled his frame with foraged food from fodder fragments. "Fooey!
My father's flunkies fare far fancier," the frazzled fugitive fumed
feverishly, frankly facing fact.
Frustrated from failure and filled with forebodings, he fled for
his family. Falling at his father's feet, he floundered forlornly.
"Father, I have flunked and fruitlessly forfeited further family
favors . . ." But the faithful father, forestalling further flinching,
frantically flagged his flunkies to fetch forth the finest fatling
and fix a feast. But the fugitive's fault finding frater, faithfully
farming his father's fields for free, frowned at this fickle forgiveness
of former falderal.
His
fury flashed, but fussing was futile. His foresighted father figured,
"Such filial fidelity is fine, but what forbids fervent festivities?
The fugitive is found! Unfurl the flags! With fanfare flaring, let
fun, frolic and frivolity flow freely, former failures forgotten
and folly forsaken."
Forgiveness forms a firm foundation for future fortitude.
