>Francis the Foolish felt a filial fondness for his flawless,
>fastidious father, Ferdinand the Fourth. Following one February
>fortnight, Francis, feeling footloose and frisky, forced his fond
>father to fork over five hundred forty five farthings, then fled his
>fathers fertile fief.
>
>Fleeing to foreign fields, Francis finally frittered away his fortune
>on fickle females, firkins of foaming ale, freeloading friends, and
>feasting.
>
>Fleeced by those fiendish fellows of the fleshpots, and facing fateful
>failure and famine, Francis finally found huimseld flinging foul feed
>to the swine in a filthy farmyard as a forlorn farmhand. Footsore and
>famished, he fain would have filled his flaccid frame with filched
>food but found it fit for only a footman.
>
>"Fie!" flared Francis, "My Father's flunkies fare far finer."
>Fortunately the frazzled fugitive finally faced the facts. Frustrated
>from failure and fulfilled foreboding, he fled forthwith to his
>faraway family.
>
>Falling fatigued at his father's feet, Francis feebly phrased his
>feelings: "Father," he fumbled, "I've flunked - and fruitlessly
>forfeited family favor....forgive me."  The far-sighted father,
>forestalling future family fissures flagged his flunkies. "Fetch a
>fatling from the flock and fix a feast for Francis. Forthwith. Fall
>to! Faster!"
>
>Frederic the Feculent, Francis' feisty, fault-finding brother, frowned
>upon his father's forgiveness of Francis' former philandering. "Flog
>the Flounder!" he fumed. But the faithful felt that Francis' former
>foibles should be freely forgiven. "Filial fidelity is what fathers
>are for, Frederick," said Ferdinand with feelings flowing. "Forsooth,
>the fugitive is found, so what forbids festivity? Fly the flags
>freely, amid fifes, fiddles and fanfares...FLING A FEAST!"
>
>Francis, face flushed, foreswore frippery forever more by forcing his
>frame into a friar's frock.
