A bible story re-visited
Father’s favoritism fuels family feuding
Fashionable fabric forfeits filial fidelity
Fascinating fantasy fervently flaunted
Falls foul of fractured fraternity
Fermenting ferocious friction
~~~
Fragmented fellowship forces
frightened fellow faraway for fee.
Fares fine for Pharoah’s foreman.
For fending off flighty femme fatale
feels fury of framing fabrication.
~~~
Faultless – flung from freedom
fearlessly foretells future
for favorless flunkeys.
Forgotten, forlorn, frustrated
~~~
Finally finding favour
for fathoming frightening,
fatidical fantasmagoria
forewarning forthcoming famine
~~~
Feted, famed forthwith.
Fathered “Forgetful” first, “Fruitful” fast following ***
Food front-man for famished folk
Familiar faces from far-flung frontiers
feigns frostiness, farcical fawning.
~~~
Forgiveness flows from flagitation
for flabbergasted fraternal.
Fabulous festivities forerun
flourishing family fortunes –
fully fitting finale
~~~
(*** Joseph’s two sons:
Manasseh means Forgetful
Ephraim means Fruitful)
