Fearing Fratricide

Freddy filched Frankie’s fav’rit fudge, fearless Frankie flattened Freddy to the floor. Father Fletcher fearing fratricide fastened Frankie’s feet firmly to the farmyard fence while friends fixed Freddy’s fractious frame fast to the family Ford.

thank you, Joanna. My sister and I had our moments of meanness amidst some loving, caring times back in the 50/60's. Happy New Year.

Wow! Congrats! Cheering you amidst blest Christmas spirit, while sharing with you "... the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

Thank you, Beata, we do share the gifts, the many gifts of our Creator and Savior God. Christ is our Redeemer and soon-coming (I hope) King of Kings.
