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 frowned 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."
