An Alliterative Prodigal Son
Feeling
footloose and frisky,
a featherbrained fellow forced his fond father to fork
over his farthings. He flew far to foreign fields and frittered his fortune,
feasting fabulously with faithless friends. Finally facing famine and fleeced
by his fellows-in-folly, he found himself a feed flinger in a filthy farmyard.
Fairly famished, he fain would have filled his frame with foraged food from the
fodder fragments. "Fooey, my father's flunkies fare far fancier," the frazzled
fugitive fumed feverishly, frankly facing facts. Frustrated by failure and
filled with foreboding, he fled forthwith to his family. Falling at his
father's feet, he floundered forlornly, "Father, I have flunked and fruitlessly
forfeited family favor." But the faithful father, forestalling further
flinching, frantically flagged the flunkies to fetch forth the finest fatling
and fix a feast. The fugitive's fraternal faultfinder frown ed on the fickle
forgiveness of former folderol. His fury flashed, but fussing was futile. The
farsighted father figured, "such filial fidelity is fine, but what forbids
fervent festivity for the fugitive is found. Unfurl the flags with flaring, let
fun and frolic freely flow. Former failure is forgotten, folly forsaken.
Forgiveness forms the foundation for future fortune."
