The Prodigal Son - in the Key of F
Feeling footloose and frisky a feather-brained fellow forced his fond
father to fork over the family finances.
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 the foraged foods of
the fodder fragments left by the filthy farmyard creatures. 'Fooey', he said,
'My father's flunkies fare far fancier,' the frazzled fugitive found
feverishly, frankly facing facts.
Frustrated by failure and filled with foreboding he forthwith fled to his
family.
Falling at his father's feet, he floundered forlornly. 'Father, I have
flunked and fruitlessly forfeited family favour.' But the faithful father,
forestalling further flinching frantically flagged the flunkies.
'Fetch forth the finest fatling and fix a feast.' But the fugitive's
fault-finding frater frowned on the fickle forgiveness of the former
folderol. His fury flashed. But fussing was futile, for the far-sighted
father figured, such filial fidelity is fine, but what forbids fervent
festivity. The fugitive is found. 'Unfurl the flags, with fanfares flaring,
let fun and frolic freely flow.' Former failure is forgotten, folly forsaken,
forgiveness forms the foundation for future fortitude."
